I doubt it would be too high... It'll sell extremely well, but I doubt it's going to be record-breaking. Christmas will be right around the corner when it comes out, so the holidays might sell more than the initial release. I've heard, though, that anyone who doesn't preorder is going to have to wait a month to buy it from some stores, as there won't be enough shipments to compensate for the high amount of buyers. It could just be a rumor, but a sales rep from a local Funcoland told me, so it might be fact. I've learned to be wary of anything they say since they asked me if I wanted to reserve "Halo 1.5" a few months ago. Anyway, I voted 250,000.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Let's not get crazy here folks. There is barely over 1 million in sales of Halo alone NOW, how could you possibly see 1 or more on the first day. No way. And I beleive is was Shiska or Stosh who once said that Frankie told them that pre-ordered/reserved is a little over 40,000. Let's be realistic people. While H2 is fantasic, it won't go over 70K in the first day, guarentteed.

Halo1 has sold over 4 million copies


My error.... thank you for the correction. But, regardless... less than a month ago the Mods stated that at that time only 40,000 had been reserved/pre-ordered. Do I think it'll rise? Hell yes, but I don't think over 1 million... not on the first day. I'll say first week maybe... but certainly not the first day.

Id say 2.6 million the first weekend following the release. Unless the 9th is on a weekend.

There once was a Master named Chief
who liked to smash Covenant
teeth,
He filled out a docket,
And picked up a rocket
Which brought all the bad guys to grief.
this writen by THE MAN Frankie. from his OXM days

gamestop said they have over 250 000 pre orders alone.
