Microsoft: "Halo: Reach sales hit $200 Million on first day"

First day sales of halo3 were $170million in the US alone, so this has certainly sold less than halo3 did first day especially when you consider the high dollar value of some halo reach editions

Does anyone remember what VGC said Halo 3 did first day? Halo 3 did $300M first week and I am absolutely sure that high ups on VGC themselves said that remainder of the first week is usually equal to around 50% of first day, making Reach first week sales around the $300M mark, which judging by the editions along with the Bundle would make the launch smaller than Halo 3.

 

Part of thinks that this is why this thread is being avoided like the plague. Although to be honest I don't understand why. How many games can say they sold this much on just the first day? The numbers are still absolutely mind blowing.
