I think that's wrong including resistance?

 

Resistance:   3.69

Resistance 2: 1.88

Killzone 2:      2.30

Uncharted:    3.18

Uncharted 2:  3.27

God of War 3: 2.52

                      16.84mil

 

Halo 3:           11.00

Halo wars:      1.85

Halo 3:ODST:  5.20

                       18.05mil

 

Halo series yes. Taking any game on its own or even 2 halo games and no.



"just in from research team"

must be breaking news lol



Sony doesn't exactly have an enormous base to publish internally developed million sellers in the USA.

I got Halo 3 at 7.93   and those 6 at 7.97.   So which VGC are you looking at?



Oops. NPD my bad :( sorry.
