NPD sales numbers procured by Gamasutra reveal that Sega's M-rated tongue-in-cheek blood bath MadWorld sold 66,000 copies in the U.S. following its March launch, and the publisher feels encouraged.

Despite a respectable Metacritic score of 82 percent, the M-rated MadWorld didn't exactly explode off of the shelves when Sega released it last month. The stylishly violent first offering from Platinum Games only managed to push 66,000 copies. Not a huge number, but still higher than Sega's other M-rated title, House of the Dead: Overkill, which saw 45,000 copies sold in its debut month. Still, Sega seems pleased with the results, telling Venture Beat:

House of the Dead has done very well and has absolutely met our expectations. The first set of data for Mad World is very encouraging, as well.

not bad

Encouraging = we really hope it will do better.

Not bad. Not too good.

It needs to have good legs.

These are like PC sales. Awful.

Do u no any other numbers below the top 10 SW NPD this month?

Yes indeed. Also PC sales keep going and going and going. SC is at 10 million +. If more games had PC sales we'd see a lot more breaking 10 mil.

^hi Shio, is it you?

Don't be butthurt that good PC games sell for more than jsut about any HD game.
