Master Chief's most recent adventure comes in at number ten on the Xbox 360's best-sellers chart, with around 9.11 million units sold. Halo's popularity is a given considering it was a major part of why the Xbox succeeded as an original console, it was the franchise that made people accept Microsoft as a legitimate competitor to Sony. While 343 Industries developed Halo 4 and not Bungie, fans still accepted the fourth major entry in the Halo franchise and flocked to buy it. Halo 4 grossed an impressive $220 million on its launch day, with $300 million being the total sum for release week, which was a record for the franchise. Microsoft also reported that over a million individual users played Halo 4 on Xbox Live within 24 hours of release. The game was also named the eighteenth biggest ever game launch in the UK, but it failed to beat the week one records of Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, but, Halo 4 was still a very profitable venture for Microsoft, and certainly isn't the only Master Chief related adventure on this list.
