Halo 3 charging toward 10 million unit sales

January 03, 2008 in News comments 7

Microsoft is beating its corporate chest this week, shouting from the gaming rooftops that Halo 3 is on its way to 10 million sales, the Xbox 360 has surpassed 17.7 million sales, and Mass Effect has tallied 1.6 million sales in six weeks. Well done, Bill & co. But what of the 360's reliability? Strangely quiet on that topic, eh?

Although Halo 3 has thus far missed out on any notable ‘Game of the Year’ awards, Microsoft now reveals that Bungie’s phenomenally popular FPS finale has sold in excess of 8.1 million copies worldwide since the game was released on Sept. 25 of 2007.

    Does this include all the copies to be distributed from the free Halo 3 promotion they ran on their website just a bit ago?

    Seems the case for it really.

    Can anyone confirm if this is shipped or sold, cause i wasn't aware of them selling those many 360's in a short amount of time. Either way thats cool for halo 3.
