Just so we are all aware, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information as anyone can edit it.

Vgchartz' data for Halo 3 may or may not be undertracked. Wikipedia is not the correct site to prove this one way or another.


The number did have a citation, and it links to a more reliable source.

Still, I'm not sure if Halo 5 will reach 10 million. Halo 3 had a much bigger hype machine behind it at this point before launch, and it had the advantage of being on a system that went on to sell over 80 million units. I think Halo 5 will be the XBO's best-selling exclusive, but 10 million may be elusive. If the XBO only sells 40-50 million units lifetime like I think it will, that would require Halo 5 to have a 20-25% attach rate. That's certainly possible, but by no means guaranteed. Halo 3's attach rate is about 18%, the highest on any of the Halo games on the 360. Whether or not Halo 5 reaches 10 million depends on how much of the series' player base stayed with Xbox this generation.

According to its wiki page, its sold in excess of 14.5 million copies (as of 2012). Its way undertracked on vgchartz.

Why nobody considered that there are digital sales too.... ?
