Record week one sales for the latest Star Wars title; The Force Unleashed proves a success for Mr Lucas...
LucasArts has today confirmed global first week sales for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, with the latest title from the 'House that George Built' topping 1.5 million copies - a record for any Star Wars game, and a record for LucasArts as a company.
The game, which sheds light on Darth Vader's secret apprentice between the events of Episode III and Episode IV, had proved something of a challenge for LucasArts. The internal studio had to deal with the technological challenge of getting three third-party middleware products, Digital Molecular Matter, Euphoria, and Havok Physics, to work together and deliver what their 'next-gen' vision for the famed brand.
"The record-setting sales of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed shows the undiminished power of Star Wars and its popularity across all media types, including video games," said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts. "We're blown away by the response to the game."
The Force Unleashed is currently available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with PS2 and Wii versions produced by Krome Studios. Handheld editions on PSP and Nintendo DS are also available.
