Nollenberger Capital Partners analyst Todd Greenwald has commented on the early success of Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, saying that it may very well outpace Halo 3's record-breaking sales.

A year ago, Call of Duty 3 sold about three million units, and we anticipate this year's version could do four million or more," he predicted.
