Obviously. But what will Halo 3 be selling like in October? Or January? According to market researchers at NPD, video game hardware and software sales in the US jumped 75 percent in September, thanks largely to the long-anticipated release of Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. Total video game sales in the month were $1.36 billion, up from $779 million in the same month a year ago. The big news from a Microsoft perspective, however, is that the Xbox 360 outsold the Wii for the first time in September, 528,000 units to 501,000.
