Master Chief Still Has The Appeal.

Microsoft has reported that the November 6th launch of Halo 4 was the largest in the franchise’s history. The return of Master Chief grossed $220 million dollars on launch day alone which math should tell us is over 3.5 million copies sold. Microsoft expects first week sales to be over $300 million.

Halo 4 is the first game in the Halo series not be made by series creators Bungie. 343 Industries took over development and crafted Halo 4 as the first game in a new trilogy.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 releasing today it will be interesting to see how big the first day numbers are for the game especially since it is multi-platform.
