Nollenberger Capital Partners analyst Todd Greenwald believes Activision’s latest blockbuster Call of Duty 4 will outsell Halo 3 by a fair margin.

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 (360 only). 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

Sounds… logical. Likely, even. Simply due to the fact that Call of Duty 4 launched across four separate platforms as opposed to one.
