3.3 million? How a videogame went triple platinum is beyond me. I knew this game would sell huge. I mean, Halo's always sold huge, but the fact this was the first next-gen one, meansHUGE numbers. I didnt see it doing 3.3, but I was positive it'd do over 2 mil. |

I should have known this, it would seem Halo tends to sell huge out of the gate. Halo 2 sold 6.5 million units, I don't know how many of the Halo 2 adopters are going to get 3 this holiday season, but there are roughly (seeing as MS does units shipped not units sold, who knows how many 360's are in homes?) 8 million 360's Haloless.
As for the Wii, they got within 20,000 of the 360, off of HALO with NO GAMES. That's remarkable.

I haven't gotten any next gen console yet (not that I don't want to, I just can't afford it), but when I eventually do, it might be an XBox 360.
Edit: Although, that "red rings of self-destruction thing" kinda freaks me out.

The real test is how many 360's they'll sell over the next 2 months going into the holiday season. Sure it's a nice one month number, but is this a "Rocky: This is Your Life" kinda bump where 360 can take over or "Goldberg v. Hogan" Bump that only lasts a short time.

I have bought an X-box 360 in the last month and I'd just like to say it was because they fixed the heating issue not because of Halo 3.

Edit: Although, that "red rings of self-destruction thing" kinda freaks me out. I don't know if anyone's told you yet, but that's Sol Badguy.  Also, it's pretty apparent that many people waited until Halo 3 to buy an Xbox 360. |

I wonder if Smash Bros is going to spike Wii sales at all in February. I know it'd be nothing like the boost Halo 3 gave the 360, but I'm still curious all the same.

Wait till GTA IV. That'll get the PS3 up there... Maybe, but it will likely also boost 360 sales even further once it's released. |

I saw that on the link I "borrowed" it from, and just figured it was from a game who's initials are S.O.L and he's a badguy ;D |

Not surprising at all. Halo is probably the only game that can sell game consoles. Oh yeah, Does anyone from this forum play online?
