So, what will Halo Reach sell first week?

Put to nearest million!

Halo 3 - 3.8 Mill - Userbase 11 million

MW2 - 4.95 - Userbase 34 million

Reach - ?? - Userbase - 42 million

Total Halo 3 players - 20 million (includes alt gamertags and used sales)

Halo 3 had almost 4 million first week and ODST around 2-3 million.

I'd say maybe 4-5 million for this one. 6 plus is just crazy, I doubt it would do that.

4 or 5

Yeah, what I find most crazy is looking back and seeing nearly a 3rd of the userbase buy Halo 3 first week, if those people buy it, and a couple more million from the 30 million new buyers since then, 6 mill.

I think 5.2, but my range is 4.7 - 5.2

I think 4 million 1st week. Im not sure though because man of my friends that were diehard halo fans are not very excited about this one. For some reason in my school it is all about COD now. 

Difficult doesn't even begin to describe this question. There are so many variables external to sales trends that are very critical to understanding what kind of demand this game might see. Not only do we not know the content or caliber of the title in question. We have no measure of marketing. That said I will edge on the only data available even though I know it to be grossly incomplete, and wager on six million. That gives me a margin of 5.51mil to 6mil. This may be the only logical answer at the moment, but my ignorance gives me pause.

Up to the nearest million first week? 3 million.

I actually think it will be just under that mark.

Choke on that dtewi.

Well the Bungie team seem very positive in saying it's by far their best Halo game of all time.

"“It plays better, looks better and runs better than any other Halo game Bungie has ever made.”"

They've taken everything from the past 4 Halo games and taken the best, and done everything they've ever wanted to do with a Halo game, they say they can't add anymore, it's finished and going gold in a matter of weeks.

They've also stated Advertising is going to make ODST's look small scale in comparison

3 - 4

I went for 3.

If it was called Halo 4, then i would have gone 4 - 5.

Not a surprise ^^
