Halo franchise up to 46 million games sold worldwide

4.7
The Halo franchise is up to 46 million games sold worldwide. Microsoft gave us the impressive figure today ahead of the launch of Halo 4, which was recently revealed as comfortably Microsoft's most expensive game to date.

According to Microsoft, Halo has so far generated $3 billion in revenue, there are 120 million pieces of user-generated content in Halo 3 to date, and 5 billion hours have been logged into Halo games via Xbox Live. We won't speculate on what all these figures may rise to following Halo 4's release next week.

Lol, while you get noob tubed and killed by over powered weapons. You've fallen in the CoD scam. Just new guns and maps. DLC is horrible.


Lol you have fallen with an extra 21st chromosome. "Just new guns and maps" I guess you arent aware of what a sequel is. How is Halo 4 different from Reach? Spartan Ops?(COD already has zombies so it would be pointless for them to try and add something else) New guns? New Maps? Well according to you, that doesn't make a new game.


Then again CoD is a Multiplatform game.... it is repetitive and takes no skill at all. Pick up a real shooter like BF3, Gears or Halo you sheep.


Halo takes skill? **** please I was owning people in Halo 2 when I was 11 years old. BF3 takes skill? **** please it's easy, BF3 is easy, or maybe I'm just good at games and yall are terrible lmao. Gears of War takes skill? If you aren't using a shotgun or spraying and praying with the retro lancer. You were born in 1995, you can't even buy those games without your parents consent lmao.
Not trying to get into your guys' debate here about these video games but Deadly Dash, aren't you younger than him if he was born in '95? You're just 14 like you said - http://icap.me/i/ozbWbsu5eh.png

To try and stay on topic with this article -- So yup.. Halo 4 and Black Ops 2.. going to be um.. great games?....


I was intimidating how you down syndrome kids on TTG (such as yourself for posting that picture)

I then said you kids on here always say "CODZ ONLI POPULER BCUZ 10 YEAR OLDS BY IT" then I put ( Even though I'm only 14) to make fun of the kids who have the audacity to call other people kids when they aren't even old enough to buy the game.

Oh let me guess, you were just trolling?


Troll?.. um.. no.

I find it weird how you say things like "you can't even buy those games without your parents consent lmao." when you aren't even old enough either.. or in this picture - http://icap.me/i/mSeZT8KCIZ.png how you say something like you're in college.. ok, 14 year old in College, I bet.

What's the point in lying?

if games take no skill then why are there people performing at different levels?and i play cod for a reason,i don't like battlefield(never been a fan of vehicles,or just massive maps and one of the reasons most people say to get it is for its graphics,well i play on an old tube tv so graphics don't matter.)i used to like halo,that was the reason i got 360 was because of halo3,but i don't like reach and since then have pretty much forgotten about halo, i also have gears,i've had all 3 and my favorite being gears 1 then 3 but have also just kind of forgotten it bc i didn't care as much as i used to.also by your logic those shooters too are repetitive and take no skill because they are sequels (repetitive)(games in a series will be similar) and yes halo&gears are ms exclusive but they are both pc and xbox thus multi-platform.

COST I Can't wait for halo 4 the Halo franchise will reach up to 50 million sold worldwide after a few months halo 4 comes out.


I bet this game has been around for a long time and has great multiplayer and caignpain. I want to know will this be like a final name for "halo" like will they be adding more reach series or something.


That's a good question. I have wondered the same thing, however I considered Reach more of a filler (an excellent one at that) and I think we will see more games released between these larger Halo titles i.e ODST and Anniversary.


i hope that they will bring out a Halo Wars 2. dont know your opinion about it but i think HW is a really good game that also deserves some praise
I hope they stop with the Extra titles and focus on the main games (Trilogy)

I mean like, c'mon.. even Bungie said that Ensemble Studios was "whoring out the Franchise" when they made Halo Wars in '09
