![]() It could be from Microsoft or from an analytic firm. The 8M number only comes from CNN Money and I don't know where they got it. ![]() October 2004 is pre orders 3 weeks before the game launched. The next franchise update at 12.8M has Halo 2 selling 6.4M, meaning the other 6.4M is CE. Out of 11M total franchise units, 5M are Halo 2. PC gets added to the total at the 6M update. NPD data given to IGN that doesn't include PC.ĭecember 3, 2004: 6,000,000 Worldwide Source Then when the franchise total of 12.8M is reached, they specifically say PC sales are included. The Microsoft PR linked for 5M also talks about how CE was "Developed exclusively for Xbox" and sold 5M. That's because when the first franchise total comes in at 11M, Halo 2 is at 5M and is supposed to be over Halo CE at 5M, which only adds up to 10M. Sources citing NPD is sold through, for example.Īpril 8, 2002: 1,000,000 North America Source It should also be stressed that unless specifically stated by Microsoft, every number is Shipped, meaning units distributed to retailers + digital when available. There is a lot to post so I'll start with a timeline of the franchise from day 1, then list the data for each game separately. Below this post all the speculation in the world is permitted. ![]() Some early sources are dead so I had to pull out the Wayback Machine. ![]() The VGSales page is highly inaccurate due to VGChartz use and there isn't a place that organizes this stuff. Just pure reported data, all sourced to the most official outlets. I am keeping this OP to official data only. In fact, many sites use incorrect and flat out wrong material after researching everything. Before, I thought I had a good idea of sales for the franchise but after doing some digging there is a lot more data I didn't know was out there and figured others haven't seen these either. I figured we could have a collection thread for Halo. We have threads on sales numbers all the time, and even dedicated threads for certain individual items that constantly track sales updates. So we are approaching E3 and the re reveal of Halo Infinite.
