Sales of Halo 2 hit $125 million on first day
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Halo 2, the much-hyped video game for Microsoft's Xbox video game console, had sales of $125 million in just 24 hours on the market, the company said yesterday. The figures for the United States and Canada, which represented sales of 2.38 million units, easily exceeded Microsoft's prediction that it would top $100 million in sales.
If independent sales figures show that Microsoft topped or exceeded $125 million in sales, then Halo 2 will definitely count among the top five best-selling games in history for first-day sales, said David Riley, senior manager with The NPD Group.
