Microsoft Mission Accomplish: Halo 3 World Record $170 million in 24 hours


Microsoft predicted that Halo 3 will beat all entertainment sales in its first 24 hours of release beating Spiderman 3 and the Harry Potter movies. $170 million in its first day of release including all preorders and release day purchases beats Spiderman 3's $120 million record. Even though movie tickets cost $10 and compared to the $129, $69, $59 prices of Halo 3 it still shows value of sales in the 24 hour period. Wow! I guess this is how Microsoft will get their money back from losing alot of that production cost of the consoles and still losing for every unit sold until now. Go Master Chief!!!
