Microsoft has revealed that Halo 3 has earned roughly $170 million in day one sales for the US alone.  With over 1.7 million pre-orders in the US, Halo 3’s launch has been marked as the biggest entertainment launch in history.  These figures exceed Microsoft’s original predictions of $155 million for first day sales. 

Halo 3 has also broken a Xbox Live record as well.  Over 1 million Xbox Live users played Halo 3 in the first 20 hours, making Halo 3’s launch the “most active Xbox Live gaming day in historyâ€? according to Microsoft.

Microsoft must be happy with Halo 3 so far, are you?  Do your best to express your opinion of Halo 3’s launch without any spoilers in our forums!

Thanks to Mr Bigins for the news!
