Conan shipments hit 1 million

"Biggest MMO Launch since WOW".

Funcom has managed to ship over one million copies of its gory online game Age of Conan.

It's taken just three weeks and the supplier is hurriedly trying to meet demand, we're told.

"Sales data shows that Age of Conan is the biggest MMO launch since World of Warcraft," said Funcom marketeer Morton Larssen. "The numbers are very promising, and we are very proud to be one of the fastest selling PC games ever in a launch month and the biggest simultaneous Europe/US MMO launch in history."

Age of Conan has placed well in the regional all formats chart, making a smashing first-week entry at two before tumbling down to 16 last week.

The game has also been receiving strong scores, with our preliminary verdict hovering around a 7/10; a full review is planned shortly before 30-day free subscriptions come to an end.
