Homefront Sells Over 1 Million Units


Homefront, the first person shooter title developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ has been under intense scrutiny recently with the games release. THQ has been extremely vocal with making statements that it is their most successful title ever. However, reviews have been rather unflattering just a few days near the release of the game. How has the game been performing sales wise you may ask? Well, THQ has announced today that Homefront has sold an estimated 1 million copies worldwide and they’ve shipped a total of 2.4 million units(to retailers). THQ CEO Brain Farrell said this “Homefront is clearly resonating with gamers and we are certainly pleased with our initial sales results” regarding the sales results. Not too shabby, but I think much lower than what they were expecting. Still, the good result will at least incentivise THQ to keep Kaos Studios in its folds and work on Homefront 2. Maybe they can make a much better single player for the sequel.
