including digital sales maybe?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Seriously do we have to go through with this every time? This is the fifth time I see this, and I don't even come to this site a lot.

The reason is that we don't have a way of tracking digital sales. Since this comes from a Microsoft website, they obviously have access to DD numbers.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Aren't they talking about the Halo Series, which when they wrote that back in 2007 consisted from Halo 1 and Halo 2.. which coincidently sold about 14,5 million when Halo 3 was released...

This thread has been made a few too many times my friend...

Those were the sales of Halo 1/2/whatever back whenever that "article/synopsis" was made, not Halo 3's sales (At least not back then, that's for sure).
