pdawerks writes "The Seattle Times is reporting that around a million copies of Halo 2 have been pre-ordered. This pre-sale figure makes the Halo sequel the highest presale in the history of videogames. So far, Microsoft has sold 5 million copies of the original Halo: Combat Evolved."

    Easy. Because XBOX owners don't have a whole lot else to play. EA Sports Whatever 200X, Some Port, yadda. There aren't that many exclusive games, and when there are they're big sellers even if they're subpar. (Halo, Fable, etc.)

    Mod me down as a troll if you're a fanboy, but you know it's true.
