Yeah Halo is the biggest selling console game in history :roll: WOW The massive self ownage there... And there is so much wrong with your music argument f50p90
Let's take the big kahuna of video games...Super Mario Bros. and compare it to Halo. For comparative reasons, lets just compare the core mario games. Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3 against Halo 1, 2, 3...make it more balanced
I am taking my info from Wikipedia
Super Mario Bros. was released in 1985, and has sold 40.23 million copies. Super Mario Bros. 2 was released in 1988 and sold 10 million copies, and Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in 1990 and has sold 18 million copies. Adding the 3 games comes to 68.23 million copies so far....pretty impressive, now lets look at the Halo games:
Halo debuted in 2001 and sold 5 million copies. Halo 2 was released in 2004 with 8 million sales, and last but not least, Halo 3, released in 2007, which sold 8.1 for a grand total of 21.1 million copies sold....not looking to good for Halo lovers.
Super mario Trilogy = 68.23 million sales. 1985-2008 (23 years)
Halo Trilogy = 21.1 million sales. 2001-2008 (7 years)
Now you can't have an accurate comparison with those numbers. Mario has been out for 16 more years than Halo. So let's do a per-year-sale comparison:
68.23/23=2.97 so as a whole, the Mario Trilogy has sold 2.97 million copies per year.
21.1/7=3.01 so as a whole, the Halo trilogy sold 3.01 million copies per year.
Wait...what's this !? Halo outselling Mario?! BLASPHEMES!?! Based on these statistics, Halo is one of the best selling video games of all time. And I never said Halo was the biggest selling console game, I said it was PROBABLY the biggest selling console game...PROBABLY...because I wasn't sure.
