If you look at weeks 6-10, it's not. Halo 3 has stronger legs in those weeks. Reach has the bigger opening, hence the higher sales, but going by the numbers weekly, it is Reach being outpaced.

Reach launched 2 weeks earlier in Septemeber than Halo 3, so Halo 3 got the holiday boost 2 weeks earlier.

Halo 3 week 9 sales must be compared to Halo Reach week 11 sales. 172,621 vs. 179,251 (same time of the year)

That's fine and dandy, but I was going by the evidence put fourth. It may be ahead (Reach), but according to that chart, it isn't.

Basically, that chart isn't the best representation of the full story.

yeah that chart isn't really representative for a week to week comparison.

Would be better to delete the 2 rows before the holiday boost slowly starts to kick in. Like this:
