Microsoft announced on Thursday that its blockbuster game Halo 3 had reached $300 million USD in sales in its first week of release. Those numbers make it by far the fastest selling video game in history as well as one of the largest entertainment launches in history.
"'Halo' is truly a cultural phenomenon, and the launch of 'Halo 3' is an important milestone for Xbox 360 and for video games as entertainment and as an art form," added Bill Gates.
The company also said that over 2.7 million users had played the game through Xbox Live accounting for over 40 million hours online.
