Halo series is overtracked on VGZ by huge margin. Halo 3 barely sold over 10 million and Reach 7 million.

Does this include bundles and digital download. If it doesn't that's mean Halo 3 (atleast) is undertracked by a big amount.

Yes it includes everything. Only free version of Halo 3 will not be included if MS ever offered it.

Clearly it doesn't include everything. Prior to Halo 4's launch microsoft announced Halo series sold 46mil

Those numbers add up to 40mil

Most likely those halo numbers are official sales from NPD/MediaCreate/ChartTrack, which excludes a bunch of territories and thus falls short of total shipment numbers.

I want to know how the sales look in the rest of the world. MS always talk about USA only...or so it seems. Regardless, great sales for this game obviously. 

@shanbcn pic: Didn't MS quote shipment numbers of the Halo franchise shortly after Halo 4's launch? How does this pic compare?

Edit: enrageorange beat me to it. Are we certain that they weren't including Halo 4's first shipment there? If we are, then it could be that we're looking at like 6.5m, 8.5m, 10.5m, 7.5m and so on which brings the totals closer to 46m


American company, the biggest country of the world, by far, in terms of video game sales, the only place where it gets updated monthly reliable numbers (other than japan of course), and the most successful region for them.
