MS goads Sony over Halo sales

[wraggster]

In a quite stark bit of pre-E3 willy-waving, Microsoft’s product director Aaron Greenberg has pointed out that total sales of Halo 3 aren’t simply better than those of Sony’s leading games – it beats the lot of them combined.
Speaking via Twitter, Greenberg stated:
“Just in from research team (NPD): Halo 3 has outsold Resistance 1 + 2, Uncharted 1+2, Killzone 2 and God of War III COMBINED....wow”
Though the likes of Resistance: Fall of Man and Uncharted debuted when the PS3’s install base was very low, recent hits such as Killzone 2 and God of War III have performed strongly at retail – though not to the same extent of big hitters such as Halo, Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty.

I think that just proves that there are way more hard-core fans of Halo than to any other video game IP.

This is true. Halo games usually have a tremendous amount of hype around them and the series has a giant fanbase.

Resistance, Uncharted, Killzone, and God of War, however, are younger IPs with smaller fanbases. They're very good games, but they're not exactly killer apps.
