$100 Million Dollar Day For Halo 2? I'm In The Wrong Business...

Peter Moore, a corporate vice president with Microsoft's games division, is calling a $100 million day on Xbox's "Halo 2" today on its first day of release. Not only did they presell 1.5 million units, Moore said one retailer sold 8,500 units in the first 11 minutes of sales, while another sold 200,000 units by daybreak Tuesday.

$100 million. How huge is that? Consider this: Spider-Man, which currently holds the opening-weekend box office record, made $114,844,116 at the box office its first week... and that's counting three days. Coming in second? Shrek 2 at $72,170,363. That's a lot of dough to be made by Microsoft, and a lot of Xbox owners who's worlds are about to get rocked by what will most likely be contending for Game of the Year, rivaled only by Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for Playstation 2.
