Microsoft game sales light up from "Halo 2" | |
|
||
| Time: 08:07 EST/13:07 GMT | News Source: Seattle Times | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
The video-game industry produced three huge hits last year, including Microsoft's "Halo 2," but sales of consoles and other hardware suffered from supply shortages, according to a report released yesterday from research firm The NPD Group. The Xbox game "Halo 2" sold about 4.2 million units in the U.S. in just two months after its November release, according to NPD. At about $50 each, its total U.S. sales easily topped $200 million. The game's success is second only to "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," which sold about 5.1 million units after its October release and was exclusively available on Sony's PlayStation 2 console. | ||

"The Xbox game "Halo 2" sold about 4.2 million units in the U.S."
"Microsoft announced today that Halo 2 has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide since its launch on November 9." Actually, you aren't reading precisely, Brian. |

Actually, Halo2 has now sold 6.4 million copies worldwide.
http://www.reuters.com/audi/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=7381371 In this press release, they also mention that halo and halo2 have sold 12.8 million copies worldwide, but that probably includes the pc and mac versions. |
