The figure was revealed in the run-up to release of the latest game in the series, Halo 4, which launches next week. 343 Industries, the Washington studio which was handed development of Halo 4 after Activision acquired Bungie, has its work cut out if its first Halo game is to be the most successful in the series. Halo 3 brought in $170 million in day-one sales; Halo Reach, released in 2010, brought in more than $200 million.
