No Surprise
November 10, 2004 - Halo 2 earned $125 million in first-day sales, breaking records for first-day earnings of any entertainment release, including the biggest Hollywood blockbusters. In other words, The Matrix got nothing on Master Chief.
The frenzy for one of the biggest console releases in videogame history moved 2.4 million units in the U.S. and Canada. Says Microsoft's Peter Moore: "The first 24 hours of Halo 2 sales have taken our breath away."
Time will tell just how high the figures will climb, but there's no doubt -- and no surprise in noting -- that Halo 2 has already made videogame history.
