Halo Wars is now "the best selling real-time strategy game on any current generation console."
According to Microsoft: Sales of "Halo Wars" have reached more than one million units worldwide, making the exclusive Xbox 360 title the best selling real-time strategy game on any current generation console.

Set in the year 2525, "Halo Wars" takes players on a perilous journey through the famed "Halo" universe. As players take the command seat in the early, epic battles between the UNSC and Covenant, they will begin to unravel events 20 years before "Halo: Combat Evolved" that shaped the franchise into what it is today.
Since the game's release throughout Asia on February 26 and subsequent launches in Europe and the Americas, fans around the world have been taking full advantage of "Halo Wars'" rich Xbox LIVE gameplay. To date:
-- There have been more than 2.6 million multiplayer matches played
-- More than 118 years of time has been spent in multiplayer matches on Xbox LIVE
-- On average, more than 200,000 "Halo Wars" fans have taken up arms in battles between the UNSC and Covenant each day
