Bionic Commando Digitally Moves 130K
Bionic Commando: Rearmed has moved over 130,000 units in its first seven days of availability, according to Capcom.
Writing at the official Bionic Commando website, the game’s producer Ben Judd stated, “While I have to admit, throwing out a number like 100,000 seemed pretty overzealous after seeing how hard digital titles are to sell, I still hoped we could reach that lofty goal. Boy, did I miss the mark. 7 days -- over 130,000 units.”
He added, “That may not seem impressive compared to package titles that sell in the millions but compared to other digital titles that is a friggin JUGGERNAUT!”
Judd goes on to state his belief that the quick success of the title sends a message from the market to developers that people are “tired of meta-emulated crap” and want “the titles of yesteryear to be paid the proper respect.”
“The bar has been raised and you have let developers around the world know that if they invest the time, money, and heart into making (and remaking) some great games, you will support that initiative.”
Bionic Commando Rearmed retails for about Joe Keiser0 on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network Store, while the digitally distributed PC version costs Joe Keiser5.
