It looks like they just copied the text straight from the Xbox Halo 3 website:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/

"Halo 3 represents the third chapter in the Halo trilogy—an international award-winning action series that grew into a global entertainment phenomenon, selling more than 14.5 million units worldwide, logging more than 650 million hours of multiplayer action on Xbox LIVE®, and spawning action figures, books, a graphic novel, apparel, an upcoming film adaptation, and more."

This description was probably made before Halo 3 released...so the 14.5 million figure is basically Halo CE plus Halo 2 sales, am I rite ?

I think so.Halo Halo 2 = 14.86 million according to VGC. Having the "upcoming film adaptation" bit in there seems like it's either rather old, or rather wishful thinking at this point.

The wording of the paragraph does seem to suggest that the 14.5 million figure is combined sales of the franchise as at the time of writing. which does not make sense if it was written recently.
