That seems rather unlikely. Halo 2 sold 8 million, and the whole Halo
series so far, combined, has sold 14.7 million. Halo 3 would have to
double the sales of all prior Halo games combined to *almost* catch
Tetris (30 million on GameBoy) and would still be well short of Super
Mario Brothers (40 million on NES).
