I'm trying to figure out how the Microsoft announcement today squares with previous information about the sales of MGS2. It is my understanding from reading various online publications that MGS2 pre-sold 1.8 million copies in the US alone. Microsoft claimed today that Halo was the fastest game on a next-generation console ever to reach 1 million.
I looked for a disclaimer in the Microsoft release, and remember reading something somewhere today about MSG2, but does anybody have a coherent explaination for why both sets of statements are true? Maybe MSG2 can also be run on a PS1, so it doesn't count?
It will be interesting to see how long it takes Halo to sell 2 million copies, and how long it will take to outsell FFX and MSG2, if those events happen.
