Halo Reach will not sell 13m

I think AVP is Alien vs Predator

why not. halo 3 had a decent campain and good grapics.and when reach comes out there will be double the consoles from when halo 3 came. out. reach has a better story so theres a good chance it will have a better campain then halo 3 and if it has great grapics why wouldnt it sell more copies then halo 3. expecially with the great sales of odst and very good sales of halo wars.

forza 2 did 4m and forza 3 is on pace to pass forza 2 prity easlly.i got to disagree about battlefield bad company 2. the game looks great. infact it looks better then modern warfare 2 to me,so i can see it selling 4m for each console.

Graphics do NOT=sales though.

ya but great graphics+great story+good single player+double the market=more copies sold
or it should anyway. at the worst i think reach will equal halo 3's sales which is going to end at about 11m

modern warfare 2 360 -9-11million easy.
