Halo is the multi-billion dollar science fiction video game franchise that was created by Bungie and is now owned by Microsoft Studios. The Halo series, which is now in its fifth incarnation, is generally regarded as the best first-person shooter game ever produced. The franchise has sold more than forty-million copies worldwide, and Halo merchandise has grossed nearly $3 billion. Halo 4 is scheduled to be released on November 6th.
Mad Catz, which was founded in 1989 and is now based in San Diego, designs and markets accessories for video game systems. The company has designed products for all major video game platforms, including a deal with Fender to design a Stratocaster guitar controller for Rock band 3, and Gears of War 3 audio products for the Xbox 360. The company has grown its revenue from $87.7-million in 2009 to $183.9-million in fiscal 2011.
Today’s arrangement between Microsoft and Mad Catz is not the first time the pair have teamed up. The relationship between the two companies actually stretches back nearly a decade, when they worked on an microphone and microphone adapter for the Xbox in 2003.
Shares of Mad Catz closed today up 4.3% to $.49 cents.
