Halo 3 had a 33% attach rate in the first week.

Halo:Reach would need less than a 17-19% attach rate (depending on how many consoles they mnove this summer) first week to hit 8 million.  I said it was top end, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

If you think Halo: Reach can't do MW2 numbers on 360, you are smoking something yourself.  Remember that it's exclusive on top of it, so you have NO one choosing PS3 or PC versions over 360 versions.  Zero.  MW2 numbers for 360 could be even higher if it were exclusive, right?

My prediction is 6.5 million, but 8 is not out of the realm of possibility.

You're on crack.   If ODST sold 2.7 in the first two weeks, you really think Reach is going to sell less than that?

We have already established that it's going to do 2.5-3 million PREORDERS!!  Let alone overall sales.

Would you say feasible?

Also, does this end the thread? The man has spoken.

call it halo 4 and then yes!

Naturally with a slow start I mean relative to Halo 2 and 3, the opening week will beat almost all games including million sellers I'm just expecting that it won't come close to Halo 3's and Cod:MW2's launch week.

I enjoy multiplayer every now and then, I just can't get myself to play multiplayer for more then 30 minutes in a row. Halo 3 has been 50% off for a long time now and ODST is 50% in my country aswell so I think I'll be able to get Reach before this gen is over.

This.

But I believe the beta multiplayer will create a lot of buzz and re-unite the Halo fanbase.

first i meant mw2 on both consoles,if im not wrong it sold about 7 millions.Yes it can do better than mw2 just on 360,but 8 millions?cmon be honest to urself.and to me looked like every1 bought mw2 even people who had no interest in game,ey were hyped by constant ads and trailers.and being exklusive doesnt automa. means it ll sell more.and install base means nothing,proven in 90% cases.

i can take all predictions with consideration,but 8 millions?aint happening

Not groundbreaking numbers but there was an increase of roughly 15% between the sales of Halo 2 and 3, provided there is an increase of 15% on Reach, then the numbers will be somewhere around 4.4-4.5m.

All in all, the response will depend upon the Beta, we'll see the general stance a week after Beta's release

Having only purchased one new game, which was already two years old. And only buyng used or bundled games...Halo Reach is gonna be a day one purchase for me.

not that halo isn't a great game or anything but I seriously don't think that's going to happen................
