Reach will outsell Halo 3 for many reasons.

1. The 360 user base has nearly tripled since Halo 3 was released.
2. Halo: Reach is a NEW STORYLINE.
-----a. Many people never got into the Halo's for the simple fact that they hadn't played the first 2.
-----b. This new story will be able to attract even non-halo fans to purchase it.
3. This year only the weaker iteration of CoD will be competing (Treyarch). When Halo 3 released, it had CoD4:MW to compete with (IW).
4. Microsoft will advertise and hype this game even more than Halo 3.

I fail to see how Halo is going to lose fans for a release that is going to be hyped and advertised as much as this. Halo: Reach to the haloverse IS halo 4. I expect it to outsell Halo 3 and add as many as 2-3 million more past that.

I doubt it. This time, they have a real competitor that will divert sales: Call of Duty 7.

So Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare wasn't a "real competitor"?

call of duty franchise was no way near as big it is today.call of duty games were always good and they didn't have that brand name,now it does.

now call of duty belongs to that category which all the people buy to show off that they have played it.

COD didn't have to be as big as it is now, the point is it was already a pretty big franchise that was known by many people. The hype and word of mouth was also huge and mostly positive. COD4 also had more online players than Halo 3 did for a long time. How is that not competition?

keep saying watever u want?

but COD was no way near the HAlo's the GTA's when COD4 released.you can just look at the sales.this time it will give HALO a good fight.
