Halo: Reach Tops $200 Million

Halo: Reach, of course had an impressive 24-hour debut. Microsoft's biggest title this year generated $200 million in sales combined in the United States and Europe is more than Halo 3's $170 million in its first day back in September 2007. Halo 3's first-day sales, however, were U.S. only.

The franchise has sold over 34 million units to date since the release of Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001 for the original Xbox. Halo: Reach fell short of the all-time, day-one record holder Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, a multi-platform title, which generated a massive $310 million in sales, making it the biggest entertainment launch ever.
