I would strongly disagree with that statement. Not a single person I know who bought Halo 3 bought it for the brand, they bought it because they heard it was better than Halo 2, they loved Halo 2's multiplayer and so they bought Halo 3 for the multiplayer, it is a very solid experience and the knew what to expect. If the game had been called Ijaki 7 but had the same exact gameplay, they would have picked it up regardless. Due to this, I don't know of many who would switch from the much loved multiplayer in the FPS Halo games to a RTS game on the Xbox360. Due to this I think initial sales will greatly disappoint those who think that the Halo brand carries over to any genre of video games.
Also, when was the last time a RTS was bundled with a console? They are much to complex a genre for a bundle, bundled games are almost always ones that can be picked up and played easily by just about anyone.
Due to this I stick with my statement that this game should be below 140DKP.
