Come on now, you have to admit thats pretty good. This game will soon breach one million, and I believe it deserves to. http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=mortal+kombat+vs+dc&console;=&region;=All&developer;=&publisher;=&genre;=&keyword;=&boxart;=Both&results;=50ℴ=Hits

PROTIP: It hasn't been out for 2 months, unless it's somehow January 16th where you live...

Oh and by the way, Dissidia Final Fantasy sales are 500.000 in just one week. This is good selling.

I suppose you are trying to actually compare it to some other title in another genre with far more advertising?

Stupid comparison.

Another genre? Its fighting game too, with story mode.

Worlds colliding? Okay its there too.

T Rated? Yes it is (i think).

Have a name to honor? Yes Final Fantasy and Mortal Kombat. Dont need more advertising.

I figured that it would do at least a million on the MK name alone. Glad to see it. Midway needs about all the support it can get right now.

My god, I wish there was something to say to that but, submit to Dissidia. Let's face it, this probably doesn't even cover imports and pirated downloads.

Fina Fantasy is also a top international property. You honestly can't expect something like Mortal Kombat to do as well as that.

an average good game sells one million within a month. This game had poor advertising. I think if they got the word out more this game would have sold more.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't it take for Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Shaolin monks over 1 year to reach 1 million copy sales?

MKvsDC can be the best selling MK game in the past decade if VGchartz is true. Selling 930,000 copies in less than 2 months is quite good for MK in comparison to it's older titles.

Okay here it is. Just curiosity. The games that reached the million.

I take those info straight from the News Archive of this forum.

DEADLY ALLIANCE.

Taken from Midway.com :
CHICAGO – January 13, 2003 - Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading software industry publisher and developer, announced today that Mortal Kombat®: Deadly AllianceTM has sold through more than one million units across all platforms between its November 22 launch and the end of 2002. The game is currently available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCubeTM and Game Boy® Advance. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is scheduled to launch in Europe in February 2003.

DECEPTION

One short week after releasing Mortal Kombat: Deception, the folks at Midway Games have issued a press release stating that the latest title in the Mortal Kombat series has shipped 1,000,000 units! From the press release:

Slashing its way to an amazing start at retail, Mortal Kombat: Deception is the fastest selling game in the history of Midway outselling even its highly-successful predecessor, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, by more than 35% in its first week of release.

http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/News/read.cds?article=443

SHAOLIN MONKS AND ARMAGEDDON

Gaming review and preview website GameSpot have revealed that Midway Games announced today that their October 2006 release Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for PS2 and XBox has now sold over 1 million copies!

Ripping heads off torsos and dismembering bodies may not make good substitutes for parenting, but it sure does sell a lot of games. Midway Games today announced that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon has shipped 1 million units worldwide.

This announcement happens to coincide with another milestone; that being that 2005's MK adventure spinoff Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks has also shipped 1 million copies, also on PS2 and XBox. Our congratulations to Midway and the MK team for these achievements!

So MK Deception was the fast selling of the last titles. And to me, a true MK game, dark feeling, lots of blood, good fatalities, return of stage fatalities, lots of thing to do and to unlock, good cast of warriors and... the broken gameplay.

Don't confuse "shipped" with "sold".

Also, outside of Shaolin Monks, this MK shipped on fewer platforms. There isn't a Nintendo version, nor is there one planned. There were also a TON of high-profile titles during the holiday season that cut into the sales of MK/DC.

Glad to here that this game sells good. Personally I love it. The 2d gameplay is awesome. I hope MK9 has as good game mechanics as this one.

I think its funny.Yes the topic title of this thread is a bit misleading to say the least but think about this.

Yes the game as been out for about a month and a half but think of it this way.
It has taken the game since being able to pre order it to sell that much.So really,it has taken what like,7-8 months to really sell that many if you think of when the game was actually able to be pre ordered.


So to me,its not the impressive but not exactly bad either,just average sells imo at best.
