Fallout 3 Launch Rakes in $300 Million
Worldwide sales of the popular video game Fallout 3 have earned over $300 million in just the first week since it hit the stores, according to creator Bethesda Softworks.
The company also added that around 4.7 million units have been shipped since the game made its debut on October 28 in North America. Bethesda described the popularity of the game in almost every region of the world which had helped it to achieve “record sales” and earn more than $300 million globally.
The post-apocalyptic, role playing game can be played on the Xbox 360, Play Station 3 besides being available in the PC versions. This is one of the reasons, analysts believe, why Fallout 3 has done so well compared to previous best sellers like Halo 3. Microsoft released the much-hyped first person shooter Halo 3 last year and within the first week the game went on to earn $300 million on analyst-estimated shipments of 4.2 million units. However Halo 3 could be played only on Xbox 360 whereas in case of Fallout 3, not only can the game be played on multiple platforms but the installed user bases of those platforms have increased significantly over the year.
The European release of Fallout 3 took place on October 31 and later this year Bethesda plans to launch the game in Japan on December 4.
