Weekly hardware purchases double; console outsells Wii for first time in 26 weeks (in the uk)

The release of Halo 3 has had a dramatic impact on sales of Xbox 360 hardware, doubling the previous week’s sales to the highest level of 2007.

According to ChartTrack, the system even managed to outsell Nintendo’s Wii for the first time in 26 weeks – a full half year.

Some 68 per cent of Xbox 360 software sales in the week were of Halo 3.

The release pushed overall software sales of Microsoft’s format to its highest sales week ever – comfortably beating the previous best of week 51, 2006.

Eat that Wii.

The funny thing is that Reggie[Nintendo] said that Halo 3 is not a console spoofer, that it won't take up 360's sales, ha.
