Forums - Sales - Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe ships 1.8m

Yeah, I did have a lot of fun playing as the Joker (that hand buzzer counter is great).

It's definitely a good game, and I'm glad that Midway found success with it. The next one better have Noob Saibot in it! And Smoke... and Reptile... oh you get the point. >_<

The sales are big, but so was the budget (most likely). Like I've said before, Midway should be making more games like Game Party and Touchmaster if they ever plan to survive. Those have been their biggest and most likely most profitable games this generation. MK vs. DC could be slightly undertracked, but it wouldn't surprise me if a couple hundred thousand were on shelves all throughout America and PAL.

 

Do you think the budget was large? I am not sure.

The fighting engine was a polished up engine from previous MK games...with some new tricks.

Midway has the rights to the Unreal 3 engine form Epic.

I do think the DC license wasn't cheap...so I could see it being at around 15 million dollars tops.

yea, I think they really gambled on MC vrs DC.... seems to have paid off for them, I imagine that it needed about 800k or so to be a success, so they should be making some good profit now.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

i've never been a fan of motal kombat, and i've never liked midway that much, the last game i enjoyed from them was Stranglehold, so i don't really care if they go down the drain.



Thats great. I had some friends over the other night and aside from a little Mario Kart Wii 4 player * we played MK vs. DC for several hours straight and it was a blast!

insert* (thats all we played).

1.8 Million is a milestone?



It is for a garbage series like MK and a terrible company like midway, which churns out nothing but fermented tripe on a consistent basis. If this game is any success for them at all it's only going to put their inevitable bankruptcy on hiatus for the moment. The sooner this turd of a company gets flushed the better and I can't wait til SF4 steamrolls MK vs DC both critically and commercialy next month.

Well I just mean.... 1 million, 1.5, 2.

1.8 what are we?  Mayans?



I'm glad the game is doing well.  I picked it up day of release an think it's a great game.  I love the action, the characters, the graphics, etc.  Of course, I got my ass handed to me 6 out of 8 times on XBL, but it was still fun!

Is it playable in live? On the PS3 the lag is incredible, hope they patch it up
