It’s no secret that Sega’s Yakuza 3 (AKA Ryu Ga Gotoku 3) has sold 372,000 copies in its debut week. That’s expected. The Yakuza series does well over there. But what about Halo Wars?

Unfortunately, Microsoft did not pull off an upset with Halo Wars as it did with Halo 3, which secured the #1 position when it launched in October of 2007. Ensemble Studios’ real-time strategy swansong charted at #14, with under 16,000 copies sold.
