Midway Games today released its results for their third quarter of the three months ending period that ended on September 30th, 2005. Of special interest to Mortal Kombat fans, the following points are mentioned:
  • Midway launched Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in North America and Europe to critical acclaim, with review scores averaging above 80% for the title on Gamerankings.com. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was a top-10 selling title in the US on both PlayStation 2 and Xbox for the month of September according to NPD Funworld, and spent three weeks as a top-10 selling title in the United Kingdom, according to Chart Track.

  • Mortal Kombat: Deception, released in October 2004, recently attained Greatest Hits status on the PlayStation 2 and Platinum Hits status on the Xbox

  • Midway Arcade Treasures: Deluxe Edition for PC, and its first PlayStation Portable (PSP) title MidwayArcade Treasures: Extended Play. Midway now expects to release Mortal Kombat: Deception Unchained for the PSP during the first quarter of 2006
