Some of Microsoft's plans proved effective. In preparation for its launch, Microsoft acquired Bungie and used "" as its launch title. At the time, "GoldenEye 007" for the Nintendo 64 had been one of the few hit FPS games to appear on a console, as well as titles such as "Perfect Dark" and "Medal of Honor". "Halo: Combat Evolved" proved a good application to drive the Xbox's sales. In 2002, Microsoft made the second place slot in consoles sold in North America. The Xbox Live service gave Microsoft an early foothold in online gaming and would help the Xbox become a relevant competitor to other sixth-generation consoles.
