Lol Halo 4 is not going to sell 6 million in it's opening week. I would be shocked if it even broke 2 million. I think 7-8 million may be a solid lifetime sales figure. Check back in 2014.


Huh? Who said it would sell 6 million in its 1st week?


Did you edit the figures after posting? Could have sworn it said 6+ million opening week. Now it says 4.  Anyway...even at 4 it's an extremely over-inflated figure for launch week.  It's not going to happen.

Halo Reach only sold 7.1m in its first year AND it had nearly double the time that Halo 4 will have. With that said, I predict Halo 4 will do considerably less than Halo Reach (7.1m) in its first year. So between 6-6.5m


I'm not going to take the bait.



what bait? My prediction?

You will be wrong. It has 1.9 million pre-orders in the USA alone.



Guys, listen.... Modern Warfare 3 barely sold 4 million opening week on 360 last November. If CoD has trouble breaking 4 million on the most popular console, what makes any of you think Halo is going to do similiar numbers? Halo is nowhere near as popular as CoD. It's the cold hard truth.

Surely you can't be serious...?

MW3 sold over 7.5m in its 1st week on the 360.

... MW3 first week is 7,501,613 ...



Okay, okay, okay....I relent. Based on this mornings USA pre-orders update...Halo 4 will indeed break 2 million in opening week. But it will be less than 3 million overall sales. I predict 2.5 - 2.7 mil opening week. Final word.

What's the problem?

-Halo Reach had 16 weeks to sell in 2010.
-Halo Reach sold 7.1m
Halo 4 has about 8 weeks to sell in 2012
- Even if it sells at a faster rate than Reach (which it likely will), it won't be enough to compensate the fact that Reach had double the amount of time to sell.
