Bungie'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. Also notable was the performance of The Beatles: Rock Band, which clearly beat Guitar Hero 5 sales on Xbox 360 despite launching nine days later.

Regardless if The Beatles Rock Band numbers were full bundles or not, given that Guitar Hero 5 only had a guitar pack means that it still got its ass kicked by the fab four.

  Didn't Activision release a statement about how awesome GH5 was doing compared to TB:RB a couple weeks ago? This tastes like sweet justice.
