Microsoft: 17.7 million Xbox 360s and 8.1 million copies of Halo 3 sold worldwide

[Bond]

Microsoft press release:

- 17.7 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold worldwide

- 8.1 million copies of Halo 3 have been sold worldwide

- Mass Effect sold 1.6 million copies in six weeks

- The attach rate for the Xbox 360 console is 6.9


-----------

It's amazing that 8.1 million copies of Halo 3 have been solid in four months, considering Halo 2 has sold 8 million copies to date. Also, an attach rate of 6.9 is insane, and is surely the prime reason why third party developers are flocking to the 360.

Good job of Halo 3. Metroid Prime 3 has only sold 1.1 million copies so far. Not even as many as MP2.

Nintendo's embarassing marketing campaign is partly to blame.
