Quote:About 2.5 million people have bought the latest Halo 3: ODST game ($60, for Xbox 360) since it was released two weeks ago, a nice reception for a game that doesn't star Halo main man, the Master Chief. Instead, players control a squad of futuristic special forces known as Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) deployed to fight off the enemy forces of The Covenant attacking Earth.
Already Halo 3: ODST has generated more than $125 million in sales, continuing the success of the franchise that had sold more than 27 million so far. "That's pretty good for a game that most called an 'expansion pack,' " says analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities. I am pretty confident that the only thing that would rival the Halo IP at this point is the Final Fantasy Franchise. Only because of there being so many games for it. Anyone know any stats on it? http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2009-10-05-halo-spins-off-products_N.htm
