Exact twitter quote from Aaron Greenburg...

"Just in from research team (NPD): Halo 3 has outsold Resistance 1 2, Uncharted 1 2, Killzone 2 and God of War III COMBINED....wow"

...how's this square up with VGC figures?

Perfectly.

Halo 3's NA sales roufly 7.9 million. Those 6 PS3 games are 7.8 million in NA according to VGC.

I got Halo 3 at 7.93   and those 6 at 7.97.   So which VGC are you looking at?

Ack!  Well it's close enough to where we can probably break out the Canada clause.

Well wouldnt that apply to both games?  

Well yes it would apply to all games, but far and large Halo's biggest userbase is in the US, it's not out of the question to say that in Canada and Latin America those 6 games outsold Halo 3.

OT: This is very nitpicking argument from Greenberg. Everyone knows that Halo 3 is huge in America and Sony doesn't have a huge PS3 first party game in the US. This is not surprising at all.
