Will halo 360 games catch up with consoles after reach is released?

The Halo franchise sales is pretty good. This is obviously Console & PC combined sales. I use the PC version.

Almost 2/3 of x360 owners on Live is also good.

I don't think the PC versions reduce the console sales by 20%...most likley even less...

^^I have no idea.

PC almost definitely a drop in the bucket compared to the console sales.  I would hazard a guess at 1%.

But other than that, MS is posting some nice numbers.  Their online system is really taking off.  Arcade games are getting of higher and higher quality, Indie games are looking promising in the future, and their sales are showing it.  Their revenue from Live is only going to go up from here.

They sold 31.4 million worldwide till June 09, probably end of June. VGC tracked the Xbox 360 at 30.6 million.

so 800k in stores worldwide, seems pretty correct. Maybe slightly undertracked by 80 - 100k or something, but anyway. Very good job VGC.

Halo is officially a phenomenon.

Well unless you think that the 360 wont sell a single console until it releases then yeah it has a chance, but the 360 maybe around 40-45M units by then.  Cause Halo 3 is at 10M now and Halo Wars is at 1.5M, so Reach and ODST would have to sell a combined 20M without the 360 selling one console.  I dont think so

That's true I guess I should include all xbox halos cause they work on the 360.

Microsoft count's all but only active members. Unused Gamertags aren't counted unlike Sony's online total.
