Halo 3 Takes the Cake

In the future, media studies and media history academics will probably look at this event as a watershed event for the transition of media from synchronous/passive/firm-generated, to asynchronous/active/user-generated.

The latest incarnation of Microsoft's Halo franchise, earned $170 million in 24 hours, the largest
opening day in the history of  the entertainment industry.  The Xbox 360 title beat previous records set by blockbuster theatrical releases like “Spider-man 3” and novels such as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

Hail to the Master Chief!
