Forums - Sales - Halo 3 sells 16x as much as halo 3 odst this week in EMEAA

 

Was browsing through this weeks EMEAA numbers and I noticed this which I found quite funny.

Been like that for a couple of weeks actually. Just pretty funny considering ODST includes the Halo 3 multiplayer in it and i. I guess the title does make it seem like an adon for halo 3 to more casual gamers but still pretty crazy considering in the few Europe sites I've looked up ODST costs almost the same as halo 3.

You are my hero!  because of this I can now track what Halo 3 is doing weekly (since its not in the top 200)

ODST numbers are absolutely abysmal though.



I'm sure overall Halo 3 is discounted in price in comparison to Halo ODST. Either way Halo 3 is a main entry into the series, ODST is not. People probably figure to grab Halo 3 first before jumping into ODST and Reach.

Anyways the Alan Wake numbers are more depressing.



It's just that simple.

Alan Wake actually (probably) sold over 200k this week worldwide but Vgchartz can't track the sales it got from the Forza/Wake bundle cause Alan Wake is download only for that bundle.



Halo 3 costs 100kr (10€) where i usually buy games and thats new. ODST costs 200.

@munudus6

That's weird, in the UK they're practically matched which is good value if you think about it considering that the ODST multiplayer includes all of the map packs that were released on Halo 3, depressing ODST sales if I am honest lol, but after all it did reach 5.76M, excluding downloaded copies, not bad for an "expansion pack" lol.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

thats bad numbers 

GTA san Andreas is pulling 15-20 k or even more a week still for an PS2 game 6 years down the road 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Bad numbers :| It's the highest selling HD exclusive in EMEAA ... hardly going to be pushing mega SW week on week is it.

San Andreas doesn't have a sequel on the same console. And many of those copes is probably double or triple pack. GTA probably has the best legs after Mario in the industry.



Great, Halo 3 is my second most favorite shooter this gen.(after Call of Duty 4)
