Halo 2 Sales Top $125 Million
"The company announced late Wednesday that 2.4 million units sold in the video game's first 24 hours on store shelves, racking up sales of $125 million - 25 percent higher than what Peter Moore, vice president of Microsoft's (Research) games division, predicted at a Harris Nesbitt investment conference Tuesday. The game is the flagship title for Microsoft's Xbox gaming system this holiday season and is widely expected to be one of the year's top sellers. Fans lined up outside some 7,000 retail stores for up to 15 hours before "Halo 2" went on sale at midnight Tuesday morning. Moore on Tuesday said one retailer had sold 200,000 copies of the game before daybreak. Game specialty retailer GameStop (Research) reported first day sales of over a half-million copies."
I have been able to resist the temptation to run out and grab a copy. My daily commute does not take me past any game retailers, otherwise I would have broken down and purchased a copy. But, I am just one man. It appears that a great number of people had to buy the game on opening day. Did you?
