I highly doubt it'll outsell Halo: ODST, there really isn't anything promising that came from that first trailer. Graphics didn't seem much better at all either even though it's suppose to be upgraded. Nothing inspiring, same old same old, I'd say stick to Halo 3.

4 million LTD MAX.

Bookmarked for crow.  You either have zero understanding of Halo and its fanbase, or are just trying to stir things up.

Even if I don't mind the somewhat trolling OP...the lack of an intelligent conclusion in the post is staggering. From someone thats an admin here, I expected more...

ITs VGA's...game is 10 months away. They surely want to save the "ooooh" and the "aaaaah" for E3 or GDC or something.

The point of this video and VGAs was to keep Halo on the gamers mind and slowly build up anticipation.

Does U2 play their best song at the parking lot of their concert?

The only dumb part of all this was that clown who hyped it up and said it will be "be all end all" of trailers. Halo has always been a more subtle franchise that puts more emphasis on character. Whats the point of showing trailer explosions and gunfights if you dont know or care about the people that are fighting in it?

I was not trolling, I really believe what I say is true. I don't see this selling anywhere near Halo 3.

I'm a fan of the Halo franchise but lately they've been way to repetetive, and Halo: Reach seems like the same old thing, and if Master Chief is not in this game then theres no way it'll sell better then Halo 3.

I understand the Halo franchise and you can quote me if you want, I don't expect much from this. Of course a big first week (maybe 2.5 million) but not much legs like the average Halo game.

Again not trolling, I just don't believe it'll do that good, the trailer was very dissapointing, there was severeal trailer during the VGA's that was better. True Crime looks more interesting.

(I am a fan of the Halo series, I played all the games many times)

I think it really depends on marketing.

My guess is around 8 - 9 million lifetime. But who really knows at this point?

I know that it'll sell more than 4 million, and everyone else in this thread does too, no matter what Gilgamesh would have you believe.

I'm dead certain it'll do more than 4 million lifetime too.

But whether or not it goes above or below Halo 3 will depend on marketing and how people view the game itself.

The fact that there isn't a 4 at the end might scare a few people away and have them thinking this is another Halo Wars, which is dumb, but, I bet these people exist.

So...based upon a 2 minute trailer with no gameplay, you've already decided the game wont be any good?

Furthermore, you really can't understand why people think you just *might* be jumping the gun a bit here..?

It's that and it's also a question of "what were you expecting?" When long lasting IPs run out trailers and cut scenes for you to look at, you're going to have an idea of what to expect. Anybody watching this doesn't need the logo at the end to tell them it's a Halo game. So in that regard, yeah it's a Halo game. There's a difference between changing gameplay elements (which they probably will) and overhauling the game so much it's a Halo game in name only (which appears to be what he wants).

I don't think some people give a damn whether Reach includes Mater Chef or whether it's a prequel. Some people just buy the game coz it's got 'Halo' in the title and it's an 360 game.

And I assure you that it'll sell massively. BUT...

10 mil is not gonna happen with Reach. Yeah it's a new engine. Yeah it's gonna have new gameplay elements. Yeah people reckon it's gonna be better than Halo 3. But that's not gonna push Reach over 10 lifetime.
