With 2.7 million players jumping in and playing the beta for Halo Reach, Bob McKenzie senior vice president of merchandising at Gamestop was recently quoted:
Pre-orders for Halo:Reach have been off the charts, with fans snapping up the limited and legendary editions since they were introduced just a month ago. Â Overall, it’s a real testament to the passion of the Halo fan base.”
The beta which recently concluded had 1.2 million players on day one. Â Over the short beta period Microsoft announced that 2.7 million players played the beta overall. Â This was said to be “record-shattering demand”. Â Bob McKenzie also went on to say this about the upcoming retail release of popular game.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Halo: Reach will be one of the biggest games and hottest entertainment products of the year.
No doubt, Bob. Â Halo Reach is certainly at the very top of many gamer wish lists for this year. Â Eventhough there’s no Master Chief this time around, the tale of the other Spartans in the battle should be one that fulfills just the same.
