Chris Liddell, chief financial officer for Microsoft, said in a conference call, “Halo 3 is clearly going to have a positive impact in two senses. One, it gives us more confidence in the number of consoles we think we’re going to be able to sell next year. In terms of the direct impact, obviously it’s a first-party product so it’s reasonably profitable from our point of view, and it will be several hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue next year.”
I’m really glad that Microsoft’s officers are here to enlighten us on this, as I was worried that the release of another Halo game would spell the death of the XBox console family. OF COURSE it will boost sales! It’s one of the most popular console games of all time!
