Fallout: New Vegas ships five million
Generates over $300m at retail.
Bethesda's shipped a whopping five million units of science-fiction role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas.
This, coupled with a "heavy volume of digital downloads", generated well over $300 million in sales.
Remember, shipped means shipped, as in sent to shops and other retailers. But still, five million's an impressive number.
"We are delighted by the reception Fallout: New Vegas has received from fans around the world," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda.
"Despite the large launch quantities for this title, we have already received substantial re-orders from our retail partners, underscoring the tremendous popularity of this highly entertaining game. We believe Fallout: New Vegas will be the must buy title for gamers throughout the holiday season."
Fallout: New Vegas' commercial success is well-deserved: Dan Whitehead awarded the Obsidian-created open world game 9/10 for Eurogamer.
