Microsoft announced today that Halo Wars has sold more than one million copies worldwide. This, according to them, makes the game "the best selling real-time strategy game on any current generation console."

The fact that it's now the top-selling console RTS probably says more about the console RTS market than Halo Wars but whatev. To round out the celebratory press release, Microsoft released a few other statistics:

• 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

Halo Wars was released on March 3rd in North America and elsewhere in the world in the last week of February. For more information on the game, check out Blend Games' review.
