Becomes biggest-selling 360 game ever; one-in-three console owners purchase copy
Halo 3 has become the fastest-selling Xbox 360 game of all time – and the second-fastest selling game in UK history, behind GTA: San Andreas.
According to ChartTrack, Microsoft’s UK installed based now stands at 1.4 million after less than two years on the market – meaning that one in three owners has already purchased a copy of Halo 3.
The release of Halo 3 has had a dramatic impact on sales of Xbox 360 hardware, doubling the previous week’s sales to the highest level of 2007.
According to ChartTrack, the system even managed to outsell Nintendo’s Wii for the first time in 26 weeks – a full half year.
