Dead Spacewas highly regarded for the most part, but it didn’t sell as well as you might think. Add a “2” on the title, though, and suddenly you’ve got a bunch more people on board for your product. According to EA,Dead Space 2is outsellingDead Spaceat a rate of two-to-one.
It’s nice to see a step up commercially, since I would definitely sayDS2is quite the step up from a critical standpoint. In its third quarter fiscal 2011financial report, EA also revealed a few other figures.
Medal of Honor,Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit,FIFA 11,Madden NFL 11, andBattlefield: Bad Company 2have all “sold in” upwards of five million units each. Congrats are in order forMoH— I honestly didn’t expect the game to reach that level of success.
