According to Msnbc.com, Bungie’s latest (and supposedly final) full game set in the Halo universe sold enough copies for the Xbox 360 to hit $200 million in sales on its first day. According to Microsoft, this makes Halo: Reach the biggest opening day of any entertainment venture this year, including movies. Of course, you don’t have to pay $60 to catch a flick at your local cineplex (yet), so I think that claim is a bit misleading. Dollar for dollar, Halo: Reach comes out the champ but if you compare ticket sales to units sold I think it’d be a different story.
April 15th was a traumatic day. Not only did it mark the day citizens of the United States had to turn in their income tax forms, but also it was the final day of support for the original Xbox on Xbox Live. Microsoft cut the old consoles out of the online platform. If you want to play online with an Xbox, you’ll need a 360 to do so. One of the casualties of this decision was Halo 2′s online multiplayer feature — something some players are unwilling to give up.
