Halo 3, Xbox, Wii & Stunted Personal Growth

Recently Microsoft's Halo 3 game propelled quarterly Xbox sales to 527,800. This total eclipsed Nintendo's Wii 501,000 sales figure. Video game revenue which includes portable games and accessories totaled $ 1.36 billion. That's up a whopping 74% from last years comparison.
