As Todd Greenwald of Nollenberger Capital Partners noted during a recent interview, the game's overall sales and ratings give it the potential to hold its own again the likes of Microsoft's Halo 3. As Greenwald stated:

Thus far, the game has an average score of 9.5/10 on Metacritic.com, which is almost unprecedented and puts it on par with Halo 3. It certainly is the highest-rated game Activision has ever created. Keep in mind, CoD4 is launching on four times as many platforms (Xbox 360, PlayStation3, PC, DS) as Halo 3. Halo 3 has so far sold about 4 million units. A year ago, Call of Duty 3 sold about 3 million units, and we anticipate this year's version could do four million or more.

Greenwald also stated that demand for CoD4 in the local retailers has grown to the point that only pre-orders are being satisfied. Given that CoD4 launched just a few days ago, we'll let you know if future updates will confirm Greenwald's expectations.

I love the COD series and I can play them over and over again without getting sick of them. Believe dat! Halo though, meh. I will like them both equally I am sure. You can get COD4 at Circuit City and they will give you COD3 for free.
