The Halo series has collectively sold over 65 million copies

Microsoft has revealed that the Halo franchise has sold over 65 million copies since the original game was released in 2001.

News of this comes from a post on the Xbox Wire, where a description of the Building the Halo Universe with the Collectible Mega Bloks Series panel at San Diego Comic-Con states that the Halo series has surpassed 65 million copies sold.

The Halo series has spanned four mainline games, five spin-offs of various genres, and a collection of the four numbered titles. Halo 5 will join these games on October 27th.

Recently, 343 Industries released a mini-documentary on the development of Halo 5, focusing on its desire to write a new kind of Halo story.
