No idea, depends on next two weeks, if they rise significantly or not. I think 115k will be shot to peices though ..

Just a thought wouldn't be the next two weeks data be irrelevant to how well Reach will sell during BF Week? Because wouldn't many buyers looking to buy Reach wait until Black Friday to buy it? So even if for the next two weeks we don't see a rise in sales for Reach, that still wouldn't matter would it? I do believe it'll be wayyy over 115k.

I don't know if BF slows down buys, it didn't with Halo 3 anyway. They increased week on week up to BF. If sales get up to 130k over next two weeks, then I think 200k plus for America is doable with the $35 offer. I'm curious as to why Halo 3 only did 115k on its BF

Lol see I don't know either but if Halo 3 increased week on week till BF, then SURELY Reach can accomplish the same and perform far better than 3.

Maybe because ODST? How did ODST perform during BF?

Here is a chart for you!

Date Halo 3 Halo ODST Halo Reach
3 Week B4 BF 54k 45k 104k
2 Week B4 BF 56k 55k  
1 Week B4 BF 74k 85k  
Black Friday 115k 147k

It seems to me that ODST didn't go big during BF compared to Halo 3. I think it makes Halo 3 look more impressive.

From that chart I think Reach can do double of what Halo 3 or ODST did during the same time frame. So Reach can do  110K at least 2 Weeks before BF and 140K 1 week before and possibly 250k for BF.

?? ODST grew and extra 20k BF than Halo 3 and posted 30k higher sales, or do you mean not impressive due to userbase size?

Yeah Reach coudl do 200k plus easy BF.

The latter. Should've worded properly. What I meant was the Halo 3 was a 2 year old game that pretty much a lot of people had owned by then and ODST was released in 2009 and had an impressive Opening Week and so I expected bigger numbers for ODST during Black Friday last year due to the fact that the install base was far bigger and that's why I asked how did ODST perform during BF last year. And that's what make Halo 3's numbers pretty awesome compared to ODST and impressive considering the things I said above.

Normally I would have said yes, but then CoD Black Ops came out. So no.
