Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter stated that he anticipates September's top release will be Halo 3, which he expects to sell over 3 million units in its first 12 days.
Pachter also said the game is expected to drive console sales, and predicts that unit sales for Xbox 360 could exceed 400,000 in September in its highest figures of any non-holiday month since launch.

At the bottom of that article it looked at a couple of his previous predictions:
"Pachter also added details on some interesting sale numbers not included in last night's NPD report, noting that Madden NFL '08 sold 2.25 million units, exceeding his estimate of 1.9 million units."
"As for other prior estimates, NCAA Football '08 and Boogie did not meet Pachter's previous expectations, as he states that NCAA Football '08 sold 157,000 units compared with his estimate of 300,000 units in its second month, while Boogie sold less than half of Pachter's estimate of 150,000 units."
Unfortunately he gives absolutely no details or reasoning behind his Halo 3 number.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

Of course he was wrong, he is always wrong. It is patcher after all. It is really rare that he's right, I thought that should be known here :) So, after patcher saying that its more likely halo 3 sells 2.5 or 3.5 Million this month than 3 Million. It is patcher, after all. Show me the time he is actually right. But he is the most quoted and known game market analyst non the less.
