SAN FRANCISCO–Sales of exclusive Xbox 360 video game Halo 3 rocketed to $170 million on opening day, marking a historic debut that outdid the final Harry Potter novel and the film “Spiderman 3.”
Microsoft confirmed on Thursday that the third installment in the Halo game trilogy had the highest grossing launch day in entertainment history after going on sale in the United States at midnight on Monday.
