Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach, Halo CEA = 45.95

Halo PC, Halo 2 PC = 0.05

Total = 46 million exactly. For that infamous thread where some MS PR guy said Halo sold 43 million and some people made a fuss saying VGchartz overtracked some Halo games by 3 million.........I must now say: You are wrong.

microsoft sold 0 games over xbox live?



Around the Network

So, how many did the Reach bundle sell with the digital copy?

Probably overtracked by that exact number.



                            

A: Great sales.
B: The article says "more than 46 million" So not less than 46M, not 46M, but MORE than 46M.
C: Looks like VGC hasn't done too shabby in tracking Halo.

we will never know what the numbers tell us because we don't know if that's the number of last week or if the number is few months old and we also don't know if it is maybe 45.5 million or 46.4 million just rounded^^



Certainly not overtracked.

They say more than 46 million. So its anywhere between 46-47. Pretty solid tracking of the franchise by VgChartz

This^

MORE THAN 46 million

Anyways cool profile pic.  Great show.  Been debating if I want to read the books.  I hate reading though 




       

55m by this year ends!



Who I have to believe??? Eddie Makuch or Microsoft.

Maybe a typo for one of them.

Anyway overtracked in both cases.

Edit - I checked and both datas come from Microsft.

10/10 - 43 million
31/10 - 46 million

So I have some explanations:

- A typo for the first number (or the second) - probable
- Microsft counted different games - less probable
- Halo series sold 3 million in the last 20 days (almost improbable)



Also, more than 46 will generally be anywhere between 46 and 46.5.

There gave been far more than 500k copies of Halo sold digitally.

Halo is the most iconic franchise of all time. Master Chief is the new Mario.


 

OT: Great news and well deserved. I can definitely see the franchise 'reach' 100 million some day in a not too distant future.
