Halo 3 bought by 52% of US Xbox 360 owners

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360, First Person Shooters, Business

Doing some simple math, GameDaily estimates that 52% of Xbox 360 owners in the US purchased a copy of Halo 3. With 4.1 million Halo 3 copies sold in the US through November and 7.9 million Xbox 360s purchased to date, it appears like a simple enough conclusion.

NPD's analyst Anita Frazier says the power of Halo 3 is evident in the fact that it clearly drove Xbox 360 hardware sales in September, even more effectively than a price cut would. Halo 3 may not make every outlet's game of the year round-ups, but it's sure to receive game of the year from Microsoft's accountants.


Im quite frankly actually surprised at how low the estimated number is, i would have thought it would be more towards the mid 70s and low 80s

Halo made Xbox what it is.. and hardcore Xbox fans were going to get Halo 3 no matter what. The game is really overrated and didn't really bring anything new to the table. I loved 'The Forge' and the fact that you could record your games.. but it play exactly like Halo 2 only now you could do them 2 extra things.

You're not looking at this right. 52% is ****ing insane. Over half of the players with a 360 own this game. I bet this is the first ever game to break 50% and the last for a long time.

Actually,I think it's more..Because they didn't count the people who bought the Xbox 360 halo 3 edition which comes with the game
