Mass Effect Sells A Million, Halo 3 Sells Five

Sales news is starting to trickle out for some of the big Fall games, with the Xbox 360 so far looking very strong. BioWare's Mass Effect has sold a million copies, while Bungie's blockbuster Halo 3 has already sold over five million copies since its September 25th release date. That last figure comes from a GameDaily interview with Xbox Marketing VP Jeff Bell. Aside from noting this week's release of Halo 3's first downloadable map pack, Bell also connected these sales back to the console itself: "The reaction has been very positive. In fact, we saw incredible sales of Xbox 360 for the week of November 18, including Black Friday of more than 310,000 Xbox 360 in the U.S. alone. This is really strong momentum for us given that we're already in our third year on the market."

Who lives in a dorm for three years? Maybe your friends have moved on to other ways to spend their time - like girlfriends. Look into it, eh?

And you're the reason noone likes the Playstation and the millions of dimwitted Sony fanboys.

It's a console, not a fucking religion. I suppose you own an Apple iMac and iPod and iPhone and use iWork for everything in your iLife too - since Apple users are the most likely to make a religion out of a piece of equipment.
