Read the post right about you (or the previous few pages), and you will see the fault of that post. You really shouldn't just blindly state numbers and attach the word "sold" to it. Not a smart thing to do. You should also read the whole thread (or at least the last couple pages).

depends on what "close means." If "close" means "within 2 million" then yes, Halo 3 is "close" to 8.1 million. It's more likely a little below 7 million.

8 million and counting. real45

Can people not read?

Read the previous few pages.

It's absolutely sick how many people there are on SW who just don't take the time to really know their stuff. If you're going to spew something as if it's true fr everyone to see, at least be fairly certain that you're right, and then, if you're wrong, have the courtesy to admit it.

Wait, I heard that Halo 3 has more than 8.1 million copies sold. SMG is not very close to it.DuDisNow

Shipped is quite a different thing from sold. It's going to get to 8.1 eventually, but it's not there yet.

Halo3 has reportedly sold over 8 million world wide.Heil68

Haha, and they just keep coming in. SOLD is different than SHIPPED. Read the previous few pages of this thread if you want to know more. Otherwise, just stop saying Halo 3 has "sold" 8 million, because it hasn't.... not yet

vg chartz, but the figure cant be that far off given the wii's popularity and the fact galaxy is tracking far ahead of sunshinethe_h_bomb

The VGChartz software figures were way, way off. Just see for yourself. They were like 30-40% off the mark for December software sale figures.

Super Mario Galaxy is the Wii biggest title to date really. Think about it. The original Super Mario Bros sold over 40 million copies. Even Mario 64 sold over 8 million copies. So I'm sure Super Mario Galaxy will sell at least that many if not more during it's life on the Wii.

And vgchartz makes the necessary corrections every time conflicting data is released. That's the way vgchartz operates. They even explained that in this link. Hardware numbers are MUCH easier to estimate, and they actually did a better job of that than I was expecting. Again, they are GUIDELINES, not to be accepted as hard fact, but fairly close, and then they make the necessary corrections, keeping up to date pretty well.
