New York: Microsoft has launched the Halo video game, which has already sold 34 million copies in nine years of its presence. It has better graphics, more complex fighting scenarios and new ways of playing with others online. "If hardware sales react in a similar fashion to what was experienced when Halo 3 was launched in September 2007, September could be a huge sales month for Xbox 360 hardware. We can expect big numbers to be reported with September results," said Anita Frazier, an analyst at retail research firm NPD. Microsoft has been able to grab a large share of the $20 billion U.S. video game business through Halo Reach. Although, Microsoft has not made any public projections, 2.7 million players already tried out a small part of the latest Halo in a beta test in May this year.
