Creators of the EverQuest series, Sony Online Entertainment are known for developing quality MMOs that are not only critical successes, but also commercial ones. But the success of SOE’s previous titles seems to pale in comparison to DC Universe Online, which is now their “fastest selling game ever”.

John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment, announced on his twitter that even though the game had stock shortages it was smashing all their previous records:

Working on out-of-stock problems for DCUO. It’s ou[r] fastest selling game ever. Should have more inventory in Monday.

Not only are retail copies of the game selling in high quantities, but DCUO is also selling very well digitally, with Smedley saying:

We were #1 in sales on Steam last week!

SOurce

Awesome.!

That's a good news.

But it's also SOE's first multiplatform game.

good to know,the game has it's problems,but it's fun as hell. 

Awesome news.

Great for SOE!

Will give it a try in a few months, hopefulle the game will be cheaper by summer.

wasn't Sony Online Entertainment merging into computer entertainment this year, or was it only an move to put them in the same building so they can share resources.

SOE has become a part of SCE but they're still somewhat independent. I don't think they're ap part of SCE WWS

I'm extremely curious to see how this sells on the PS3 in the long run.

If it can hold some decent legs and crawl past 1 million on the PS3 alone, then I think we're going to see an explosion of console MMO's in our future.
