Perhaps you should take some time and work on your reading comprehension. The total number of games sold is not the issue. The issue is that the writer is drawing a conclusion not supported by real facts. Why is this a hard concept to understand. Faulty reasoning makes the statements by the writer subject to critical examination.

The article is based upon a press release from Microsoft. Nowhere in that press release have they claimed to have sold twenty million console versions of Halo. The writer took liberties with the facts. They went out found a old article totally irrelevant to the question at hand, and then jammed the two sources together.

Nice sales for MS ... now if Killzone 2 could do at least half ... we would have a winner :D

IMO, it's most likely sold to retailer/distributor numbers. (5.2m).

If so that's friggin' huge for Microsoft - they're making no less than $40 per copy for a normal copy (normal prices dictate $45 USD per unit).

Time will tell what numbers are legit, but 5.2m sold to distributors is definately likely - and a major boon to Microsoft's numbers.

I bought it twice! Not because it's that good, just because my version didn't work anymore. Couldn't trade it in at my local gamestore without the receipt I live in Belgium by the way.

guess we will find out soon.

first week was US 2.6 mill Others 1.2 mill
2nd week probally US total 3.5 mill + Others Total 1.7 = 5.2 million

I say yes... And I hate halo.

Meh, Wii Fit will pwn it /johnlucas impression.

But let me guess you like RFoM and you will probably love KZ2. LOL

I remember a few people on this forum thinking that MP3 would outsell Halo3 by a few million because of the Wii's growing installed base.
