They need to step up past Mortal Kombat and come with some heat. Or else, they'll end up like Atari, bought for $11 million with no one caring. Think about it this way, Nintendo/Take Two could've bought them with the 1st day sales of SSBB & GTA4. They wouldn't even noticed the money went missing.....LOL

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. " thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

If I remember correctly, the last year where Midway post a profit was in 2000 ...

Ah yes I think I bought Hydro Thunder (N64) that year.

That explains it. Thanks Total War!

So Cruisn and Game Party made almost as much Revenue as Blacksite and UT3.

Yikes. Then again UT3 was all publishing fees only. Still... that's kind of sad, as I'd hope Blacksite cost more then those other two games. Though all three of those games i wouldn't buy for more then 5 dollars.
