Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of American, told Reuters in response to the NPD September numbers:
"The Wii went up against the self-proclaimed 'biggest entertainment launch ever' and we emerged with our best month of the year.
They fired their bullet and our gun is loaded and ready to fire throughout the holidays."
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
to mention the price difference between the consoles and software sales.

Actually the best selling Xbox 360 SKU is between the premium or elite. So its more around $400.
Nintendo only needed to survive Halo. It seems they have, and now have a clear path to own the holidays.
MS fired a cannon, but, now, Nintendo is going to fire a rocket named Mario.
It will be interesting to see how Mario, which is much bigger than Halo, will affect sales all over the world when compared to what Halo has done in America.
i not going to make any excuses. nintendo is a monster right now and honestly i don't think anyone can stop them at this point in time. go nintendo you deserve it.
Wow Madden 08 for PS2 still goin strong. I imagine these PS2-owners would've bought Madden for their PS3, 360, or Wii instead if they had one, so this may be a sign that there are still plenty of gamers out there who have yet to buy any of the three new consoles. This holiday is likely to make many of these PS2-only users into PS3, 360, and/or Wii owners.
While Nintendo and Micro$hit are battling out for first place. Sony is sitting back watching as these two schoolyard dweebs destroy each other. In the meanwhile Sony will be putting out AAA games and quietly take over North America as they did with Japan and Europe.
