Halo 3: ODST Tops September Sales as The Beatles: Rock Band Beats Guitar Hero 5
by Nick Breckon, Oct 19, 2009 11:35pm PDTBungie's stand-alone Halo 3 expansion topped the NPD sales charts in September, beating Wii Sports and Madden NFL 10 by a significant margin with over 1.5 million units sold.

Though the numbers are a tad lower than the analysts projected (see http://www.gamespot.com/news/6232261.html ) ; they were looking between 1 and 1.3 m for TBRB on all platforms, but with the numbers here and assuming a respectable PS3 # of 150,000, you're only looking at about 650,000 units. Sure, first month numbers and all, and we've got 2.5 months till Christmas, and they aren't nothing to sneeze at, but I think this was a little off from projections.
(Comparison number: 360 version of RB2 sold 363,000 on its release month)
