Halo 3: ODST Moves 2.5 Million Units
There
is no denying the selling power of the Halo brand. Even without its
knight in shining Spartan armor, Master Chief, Microsoft Games Studio
managed to move a staggering amount of product in the two weeks since
the game's September 22nd launch.

Today reports 2.5 million units of the $60 title have been sold,
establishing a very successful inception for the game. With over $125
million is sales so far, ODST marks the continued success of Microsoft's bullet-addled cash cow. Industry analyst Michael Pachter says, "That's pretty good for a game that most called an 'expansion pack.'"
Are
you one of the Halo-faithful who've helped perpetuate the lucrative
lineage of the Halo series? With two weeks having passed and ODST's impressions having been made, do you think the game is deserving of such solid sales?
