And they spent $100 million in advertising.

Edit: I can't find where I read that now...

Edit Edit:

The total cost to Microsoft for "Halo 3": a little more than $60 million.

Dunno where I got $100 million from.

Edit Edit Edit:

The company has been marketing the game hard, recently launching a $10 million TV ad campaign, an ad budget that rivals most blockbuster movies.

Is Halo 3 the Star Wars for the video game generation?

So I put an extra zero in. Big deal... >.<

This isn't much of a surprise to me. I knew this game would be huge and sell huge the first day. Kudos to them for making so much money the first day though. :p A few of my friends even skipped school to play this game on launch day. =\ One even beat it. -.-
