NPD August = 5 aug - 1 sept

30k 53k 59k 64k= 206k
Hardware sales next week 64.000 for 360.

NPD September = 2 sept - 29 sept

65k 61k 58k 70k = 254k
Halo 3 release is 25th september.

You honestly think that during Halo month, the 360 will only move 254k and that Halo will only boost sales by 12k the week it releases?

Seriously, share some of what you're smoking.

Well I think Halo 3 will sell less than Halo 2. Because the userbase is smaller than Xbox. 1.800.000 copies first week. Madden NFL 08 did 6.000 with 900.000 copies. Also Bioshock released 2 days before weeks end. But sinds Halo 3 is the systemseller of Xbox 360. I'd say 15k for Halo 3.

I think your reasoning is flawed by comparing the two.  This is the third iteration of Madden on the 360 while Halo 3 is the first for the system.  Chances are some of the people interested in Madden would have bought a 360 for one of the two previous Madden games on it.
