The last image, next to the radar there are 4 different lines (thought to be team mates).

Some people think those 4 lines are 4 team mates names/life... Hopefully its true.

I don't see this doing 10 million. Period. EVERYONE bought Halo 3. Everyone has to try it. But not everyone who bought halo 3 liked it. The fans are always going to buy a halo game. But Halo fans don't number in the 10 millions. A halo fan would also have bought ODST and it will at least do those sales, even more because it was only an expansion. But I don't see it doing substantionally better then ODST's final numbers.

That being said. I expect it to be much better then Halo 3. But I expect less people to care.

Really? I would think it could pull off at least 8-9mill sales WW.


I would say I don't see it doing more then 8 lifetime. Not that 8 million isn't absolutely amazing.

Everyone didnt buy Halo 3.   but yeah, maybe everyone that bought it didnt like it... but then a hell of a lot more then 10 million have bought it or played it.  Used, rentals... 

 

reach will be hugerererer  10m plus will happen.

True. But a lot (read: most) series sell more copies with their first release in a generation then the sequals that follow. For instance MGS 2 sold better then MGS3, and yet MGS4 still performed better then MGS3 also. Also, when Halo 3 released, it was THE FPS and the biggest 360 exclusive. While it is still THE 360 exclusive series, it's been replaced by MW2 as the most popular FPS. Now I'm not saying that Reach will lose a huge amount of sales because of this, but it should obviously effect it negatively in some way. Being the biggest 360 exclusive isn't nearly as important anymore, exspecially after the release of 3. In addition, it's not a numbered entry which regardless of quality might affect it negatively, exspecially after some unhappy buyers of Wars and ODST. Some people might be waiting for a full fledged number entry after those two titles. This game simply isn't as hyped as Halo 3 was. I for one bought Halo 3 and won't be buying Reach. Not new anyway. I also know quite a few people who feel the same. I'm not saying that me and a group of friends mean anything in the grand scheme of things. But I'm sure we are only a small sample of a relatively big group of people who feel the same way and it will have some kind of outcome on the sales. The final thing going agaisnt Reach, and possibly one of the biggest is that the Halo series is becoming oversaturated. When 3 released, gamers had been waiting a couple of years building up hype for the next game in the seires. Reach will have been the third halo game released in the three years following Halo 3. Look at a lot of games with such frequent releases. They gradually drop in sales.
