Owned: Orange Box Outsells Halo 3, Halo 3 Still Wins On Live
I can’t believe it, but Halo 3 sales were actually beaten this week. Half-Life 2: The Orange Box sold 348,049 copies on its first week, while Halo 3 sold 285,860 units this week. Seems like Microsoft’s most anticipated title for the Xbox 360 could be dying down…this week at least. I’m sure Halo 3 will top the charts next week, while Orange Box will bump down to second place.
In somewhat related news, Orange Box seems to be doing pretty poor on Xbox Live. According to Major Nelson, Orange Box is the 9th top played online title of the week, while Halo 3 is still number 1.

I’m sure that Halo sales are lower because 3.3 MILLION people bought it in the first four days.
They’re still going to sell at least one more copy. I haven’t picked one up for myself yet.
Orange Box rulez
Orange box is great I love it who thinks GH3 has and chance of beating out Halo 3?
You mean during its launch week, like this? Sure, I guess. Will it beat out Halo 3 in total? Not even close.
hey but get this, orange box isnt just one game, its several. divide the sales numbers between the games, see if it beats halo :P, anyways. i dont really cre which one outsells the other, they are still both awesome games
actually you should look at the charts again and go back to week one of both. Halo beats the Orange box by about 2,500,000!!!
your numbers are obsolete look at halos first week and then orange boxes first week please do your research don t be a noob be noob free…..please
He was just quoting numbers from VGChartz, blame them for incorrect numbers, not us for passing the information along.
Also, this wasn’t for the first week of Halo 3 sales, only the first week for The Orange Box. That was made clear in the post.
…noob
Wow, noob, congratulations on failing to actually read the post. The whole point was that Halo 3’s weekly sales were finally beaten for a week once Orange Box released. Obviously this isn’t a comparison between week 1 vs. week 1; I supposed inferring that from the beginning without being reactionary is asking too much.
