Halo Tops Three Million Sales
Microsoft's original killer app for Xbox has sold over three million units worldwide.
Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios have announced that Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox has sold over three million copies worldwide.
Bungie's Pete Parsons offered: "Great to see that Halo continues to be a success on Xbox. Later this summer we will unleash Halo for the PC with online multiplayer capabilities featuring new maps, weapons and vehicles, plus the ability for fans to create mods."
Some amusing goals were set out when Bungie was founded in 1991, according to Microsoft's press release: "to develop games that combine brilliant technology, beautiful art, intelligent stories and deep gameplay, and then sell enough of those games to achieve the real goal of total world domination."
With Halo 2 coming along superbly, they might just be getting close.
