I'm not trying to derail this thread or anything but aren't those MS numbers heavily inflated by the multiple Halo releases? It almost seemed like they tried to make it seem like MS has different crazy selling games across the board compared to Sony or some sh!t

but whatever with that though..

cheers to MS i guess

:)

It's a fair question. Let's compute the difference:

Here are the total Halo games on 360:

Pos	Game	Platform	Year	Genre	Publisher	North America	Europe	Japan	Rest of World	Global
1	Halo 3	X360	2007	Shooter	Microsoft Game Studios	7.67	2.70	0.13	1.18	11.69
2	Halo: Reach	X360	2010	Shooter	Microsoft Game Studios	6.63	1.78	0.08	0.84	9.32
5	Halo 3: ODST	X360	2009	Shooter	Microsoft Game Studios	4.17	1.28	0.06	0.60	6.11
6	Halo 4	X360	2012	Shooter	Microsoft Game Studios	4.04	1.29	0.04	0.54	5.91
7	Halo Wars	X360	2009	Strategy	Microsoft Game Studios	1.26	0.73	0.04	0.22	2.24
8	Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary	X360	2011	Shooter	Microsoft Game Studios	1.23	0.62	0.04	0.20	2.08
