Halo 2 obara SVE rekordeCitat:
Halo 2 has blown the roof off of any other sales day in the history of GameStop, said Dan Dematteo, president and chief operating officer at GameStop. In just one day, we sold more than half a million copies of Halo 2 - more than any other game in history in its first day of release. Halo 2 has become more than a pop culture phenomena - it's become a pop culture frenzy.
Not only has Halo 2 exceeded video game sales records, but entertainment records as well. Halo 2 has generated more money on day one than any of the biggest movies in box office history including Spider-Man 2 (Sony), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (WB) and The Matrix Reloaded (WB). In addition, Halo 2 surpassed this past weekend's box office favorite, The Incredibles, which grossed USD 70.5 million (U.S.) in three days compared to the USD 125 million pulled through by Halo 2 in one day.
The first 24 hours of Halo 2 sales have taken our breath away, said Peter Moore, corporate Vice President, Worldwide Marketing and Publishing, Xbox. Across North America, 2.4 million copies of the game were sold through, representing USD 125 million in total cash register receipts for retailers. It's no longer just a huge game for us but has become a seminal milestone for the entire industry.

Dakle igre i zvanično skidaju film sa prvog mesta po izvoru prihoda. Da li ovo znači da ćemo vrlo uskoro da budemo svedoci sveopšteg pada kvaliteta proizvoda u gaming industriji, tj. da će se igrama desiti ono što se desilo filmu u Holivudu?
Više neće biti malih nezavisnih firmi koje redovno proizvode originalne i dobre igre (setite se kako je Blizzard počeo, do pre WarCraft3 nije on bio nešto velika kompanija), nećemo više igrati legende kao što su King's Quest i Leisure Suit Larry (ovaj novi nastavak Larryja ne priznajem, prava ilustracija dekadencije i degradiranja kvaliteta igara), više niko neće da napravi nešto originalno i kompleksno kao StarCraft, neće biti novih Half-Lifeova da postavljaju domaće zadatke za pravljenje dobre igre.
Sve se okreće komercijalizaciji. Uporedite samo ovaj novi GTA sa prva dva dela igre. Sami zaključite o atmosferi igre, o njenom duhu i originalnosti.
Uz MSov XBox2 i XNA, jasno je. Nema više umetnosti u pravljenju igara, to je sada jednostavno sredstvo za zgrtanje velikih para. Industrija.
