Pachter: Halo to reach 3 million sales mark in 12 days

Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter predicted a remarkably high sales number for Bungie’s Halo 3: three million copies sold in twelve days.

While three million really isn’t a surprise, taking into account that Halo 3 is a widely anticipated and popular title, the allotted twelve-day time bracket is rather specific. Halo 3 is also expected to push Xbox 360 console sales upwards, even exceeding 400,000 units in September. And that’s before the holidays.

This Halo 3 prediction was mentioned alongside Pachter’s other statements regarding the US$ 99 PS2, as well as the new 40GB PS3 SKU. Things are clearly going to get interesting these coming months, so stay tuned in here at QJ for the latest updates!
