Report: Halo 3: ODST Sells 2.5 Million Units

According to a report from USA Today, Halo 3: ODST has sold 2.5 million copies since its release just two weeks ago. The title has also generated more than $125 million in sales. In total, the franchise has sold 27 million units.

"That's pretty good for a game that most called an 'expansion pack,'" said Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter.

U.S. retailer GameStop said last week that Halo 3: ODST was exceeding sales expectations. "While we don't disclose sales figures for individual games, I can say reservations for Halo 3: ODST prior to launch were very strong, and first-day sales exceeded our expectations," said Bob McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Merchandizing.

September U.S. NPD sales numbers will be released later today.
