MK vs DC, Near The 2 Million Mark!

In today's world, you can't have a good game on the market without a serious cash amount invested into it, first. Those few exceptions from small studios exist only to confirm my statement, and not to come in contradiction with it. Midway Games' MK vs DC is one of those games that got their creators a bunch of debts, first of all, but now the rewards are starting to appear...

Yesterday morning, the Chigaco-based Midway Games announced some sale numbers surprising for a lot of people, including themselves - Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe has sold almost 2 million copies worldwide - 1.8 million, to be more accurate - since its November 2008 release.

Available for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the game comes in two flavors - a regular version, worth $59.95, and a "Kollector's Edition," with a price tag of $69.95.

According to Mortal Kombat creative director Ed Boon, "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was the result of countless hours of hard work by many people, and seeing the game surpass the million-seller plateau makes it worth all the effort."

For us, MK fans(at least speaking for myself, I know this is true), those countless hours of hard work are worth the price of the game a few times, and since a sequel is already in the making, let's hope for a brighter future! Unfortunately, all that has been said is that "We're already hard at work on our next version of Mortal Kombat, and look forward to being able to reveal more details in the future," so we should wait to see more details showing up...
