Forums - Sales - 5th Cell reveals sales for Scribblenauts, Drawn to Life

Joystiq

5th Cell's focus on original IP has worked out quite well for the independent developer, selling millions of copies of its innovative titles. During a DICE 2011 presentation on the studio's development strategy, general manager and COO Joseph Tringali shared that it has sold 3.5 million units in the Drawn to Life series and 2.5 million of Scribblenauts games. We'd known previously that the original Scribblenauts was the fifth best-selling DS title of 2009.

The developer is currently working on Hybrid, its XBLA title expected to launch sometime this year. 5th Cell has been incredibly cagey on details, but creative director Jeremiah Slaczka told Joystiq that it'll have its big reveal at GDC next month.

I'm guessing that they are shipment totals.

Either way, Scribblenauts/ Super Scribblenauts is undertracked...

And we have Drawn to Life at 2.6 Million. So hugely undertracked.



                            

I knew people wouldn't care. You should've put in the title: ... and GT5 is undertracked!

Great sales for an extremly small development team.

Are you including the 2 other Drawn to Life games, because there are 3 of them.(it says franchise)

this are great sales, I've only played a little bit of Scribblenauts, but I liked it

200k seems like a pretty reasonable gap for shipped/sold across two games.  There are only EMEAA sales for one drawn to life game, so that makes up most of the difference most likely.



Odd that they left off Locke's Quest.  Guess they're not all winners.
