NPD Set 2007 - Halo 3 (Xbox 360) -- 3.3 million
NPD Set 2010 - Halo: Reach (Xbox 360) -- 3.3 million

WFT!!!


Reach had one extra week compared to Halo 3 though. Seems to be slightly overtracked here.

Reach looks as overtracked as Halo 3 looks undertracked.

However both are in the 10% margin of error

NPD = USA, VGchartz= AmericaS


Halo 3 sold about 190k in it's first Canadian NPD. Although NPD doesn't include hardware bundles so you can probably add about 75k-100k. Assuming Reach sold similarly to 3 up north Latin America would need to pick up a fair bit of slack, and piracy really kills software down there for everything except PS3. We're probably overtracking it but only ever so marginally. Probably not worth an adjustment.


Although it seems that we have also lower numbers for Halo 3 compared to NPD. We have first week of about 2.85 million for whole america and NPD has 3.3 million for USA only. That's actually pretty big difference.

ah well I saw that reply to late.

2.85m really ?

You looked that up or is that your calculation ?

When I did my calculations I came up with 2.99m or so.

I just took first week sales from here. About 2.85 million for whole america as vgchartz tracks also south america and canada. Halo 3 launch week was also exactly last week of september so that 2.85 million figure is for whole september.

but even in 2007 the September had 5 weeks for NPD, so it's actually 2 weeks of Halo 3 sales.

USA accounts for 87% of all Halo Reach Americas sales (Americas: 3,994,074; US: 3,474,844)

Assuming the same for Halo 3 we have (Americas: 3,434,016; US: 2,987,594)

10% error for Halo 3 and 5% error for Halo Reach

WHOA!

*Alarm*

Major overtracking. What went wrong?



palancas7 on 14 October 2010

Though we don't have specific numbers for most games on the list, there are a few things we can note. First off, NPD analyst Anita Frazier did share the impressive Halo Reach sales figure: 3.3 million. Reach, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, and Metroid: Other M, must have done particularly well to make it onto a multi-platform top ten list despite being single-platform titles.

Frazier helpfully noted that if the top 10 were ranked by SKU, New Super Mario Bros. Wii would have cracked the top 10, as usual.

So...

We have the DS at 585k, and the Wii at 316k... Huge differences there.

DS overtracked by almost 200k, and Wii overtracked by about 60k.

 

Can't wait to see what Sony reveal (If they reveal)

so PS3 > Wii by at least 30k this month ?

And well DS... huge discrepancy (and yes I read The Source's article)
