'Halo 3' Annihilates Sales Records

'Halo 3' Annihilates Sales Records

'Halo 3' was already selling like gangbusters long before it was even released. Having finally been delivered into the sweaty palms of gamers a mere 60 hours ago, the game has now gone on to set a new record as the biggest video-game debut of all-time. In the 24-hour period following its release at 12:00AM on Tuesday, the game is estimated to have sold enough copies to rake in $170 million. That tops the $125 million release 'Halo 2' broke records with back in 2004; it even tops the $148 million opening weekend gross for 'Spiderman 3,' the current record holder for the movie biz.

'Halo 3' is receiving rave reviews across the board, and after the time we've clocked playing some Legendary online co-op, we can say that the praise is most definitely deserved.
