inFamous was released during the middle of the year, and at the time, its sales didn't look overly promising. It only managed to sell around 250,000 in its first week worldwide and sales dropped off relatively quickly.

However, Sony have now announced that the game has managed to sell 1.2 million units as of October, 2009. It shows that PlayStation 3 titles really do have long life-spans.

The game has also seen a slight price drop in the United States, with it now costing $39.99. Extra content which was previously only accessible as a pre-order item will also be made available for free on December the 10th. It means that everyone can now be able to use the Gigawatt Blades.

Good sales. Should reach 1.5-2m lifetime.

I'd say Sucker Punch will be happy with that. The Sly games, according to what data we have, were never huge sellers.

it says upto Oct.. So if we add Bundling of black friday n holiday boast, than 1.7M look pretty likely.

very cool game.
I can't wait for infamous 2.
I just hope they focus more on the evil pathway.
Playing evil to get the platinum sucked. It was all about people hating me and losing everything. I prefer to learn about making new connections. For example, that chick Sasha who falls in love with you when you start doing bad missions. Would've been better to hear about how my descent into evil has it's own rewards rather than just hearing about how I'm such a bad person.

INFAMOUS 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

Sorry got a little hyper, given I will most likely still rent that game, since I know I can beat the game twice before one week is over.

Really? I think it should reach 1.3-1.4 by years end...

I know! I had a hard time getting through the evil story just because I felt like a jerk. It would have been nice if something more happened with Sasha. Yeah, she's one messed up chick, but if Cole is evil too, it would have fit in very well... it's kind of like a Trish vs Sasha thing.

Still though, I'm really excited for the sequel. Great to see the game is still selling pretty well!

I really feltthat Infamous could have had more polish but sony had to rush them....
hope they take as long as they want to make Infamous 2 more awesome than
its already AWESOME predecessor.

the game deserves it!! *waiting for Infamous 2*

I was talking about vgchartz numbers, not sales to retail, sorry.

It will be interesting to see how much the BF bundles will push it this week. I think looking forward, the length of time it's bundled will be the deciding factor on whether it will reach 2 million or not.
