Analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets thinks that Halo 3 could be looking at a $200 million day.

I doubt it. It will probably make more money that Halo 2 did, though. How much do you guys think it could sell?

4 million pre-orders = 4 million sales in the first week easily.

Nope preorders actually don’t represent first week sales. They usually just give a range as to what sales will be. It’s not guaranteed that everyone that preordered a game will buy it on that first week. Maybe first month but defo not first week.

Um, there are 4 million pre-orders. That means 4 million people will get their copy on the launch day. That means 4 million in 1 day.

Know that means 4 million people have preordered to buy this game. That doesn’t mean 4 million people will go on the first day and buy the game. That would be assumption haha.

I mean you don’t have to believe me. I mean you can believe what you want but sales will be at around 2 million in the first week.

Well sales says so sales analysis says differently. I give the lower end of sales on the first week of Halo at 1.5 million. And I give the higher end of 2.5 million. So I take the median out of that and leave 500k for tolerance. I don’t think it’ll go any higher or any less than that in its launch week in America. I mean if it does go higher it won’t be over 3 million.

200,000,000 in one day? I highly doubt it. However, their are a LOT of Halo fans (including me) so who knows. Hey, when you guys get Halo 3...don’t tell me anything! I’m going to get it for Christmas.
