Reach is already overtracked by atleast 1.5m in NA alone according to NPD.

How much has Reach sold according to NPD?

NPD doesnt track all of Americas nor does it include those bundled with hardware.

Don't even bother with this guy, and yes Ethomaz you're correct, it is fair.



 

I have seen this claimed before, but how do we know they are including the Halo Reach digital downloads from the Holiday Bundle. As far as I have seen this has not been confirmed.

But I do think it is ludicrous that Halo Reach and Alan Wake would not be included. Simply because they need to be downloaded makes little sense. We have bought consoles and accessories that have came with physical disks that have never been played. Why should those count. Unlike other digital downloads Halo Reach and Alan Wake have something physical to track. So what if it is simply a card.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Seriously though I'm intruiged. Where is he getting his info from? Or is it just wishful thinking from him?

I thought we discussed this last year and VGC DID count those Alan Wake copies since there was an actual way to track them. I remember it clearly.....of course I did spend most of last year high on paint thinner. I remember a lot of things that may or may not have happened.

4.7m at the end of September 2011, and show me the proof that MS sold anywhere near 1.5m copies by bundling the game.

Unlike some people here i have sources to backup my claim.



Again, NPD doesnt track all of Americas nor does it include those bundled with hardware.



I always thought VGChartz tracked retail sales, would them be voucher or disc based.
