And to tack on some more stats, ODST covers its development cost in one day, and it’s going to be interesting to see the impact on EDD this quarter. All one can say about the Halo franchise is WOW…buying Bungie is one of the smartest and most profitable decisions M$ has ever made. 2.2 million copies of Halo ODST were sold, and you’ve really gotta wonder what Halo Reach is going to do…maybe 4 million+ in week one. The question is, whether Halo Reach will be a 2010 or 2011 release, and does M$ have another Halo product in-between, maybe a major DLC for Halo Wars. I wouldn’t mind seeing a RPG in Haloverse, to follow-on for Mass Effect 2 , if that games series doesn’t stay a Xbox exclusive.
