"We've... seen a strong response to both Halo 3 sales with more than 5 million, and Mass Effect which has sold more than a million copies in less than three weeks," noted Bell, highlighting consumers' reaction to Microsoft's holiday push.
MS
Halo 3: > 5,000,000
Mass Effect: > 1,000,000

Halo 3: 5,819,045
Mass Effect: 557,356
Why would they be giving "sold to consumers" numbers for Halo 3, but "sold to retailers" numbers for Mass Effect? |
When does Microsoft give out "sold to consumer" numbers for software before NPD? |
They almost never do. When they did it was Halo numbers which were first day/week sales. Those weren't sold to retailer, they were consumer numbers. Other than that they have never given out close to exact numbers before hand and Mass Effect is clearly an approximation of total sales.
