FIRST week sales for the eagerly anticipated Halo 2 title for Xbox appear to have come close to living up to the massive pre-launch hype, with the game shifting an estimated 104,000 units.
The original Halo had sold around 100,000 units on a stand-alone basis, or around 350,000 copies once copies bundled with Xbox consoles were factored in, Xbox product marketing manager Nick Segger said.
The estimate for Halo 2, based on figures from market analyst GfK, gave it the record for the fastest selling game for any platform in Australia, Mr Segger said.
Halo took the record from PlayStation 2 title Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which sold 58,000 copies in its first weekend on sale and will be the platform's standard bearer for Christmas.

Microsoft reported sales of its Xbox live online gaming package also increased 10-fold in the week beginning November 8, driven largely by sales of the new Halo.
