Bioshock Ships 1.5 Million, Sequels Likely

Posted by Zonk on from the rollout-for-rapture dept.

Gamespot is reporting that 2K games has shipped 1.5 million units of BioShock to games stores and retailers. The title was noted by EA Sports' Peter Moore as proof that third-party publishers aren't getting squeezed out by first-party AAA games. "It turns out the comments by the former Xbox 360 and Games for Windows marketing chief were prescient. Today during a post-earnings report conference call with analysts, Take-Two Interactive Chairman Strauss Zelnick said BioShock was already a runaway success for the controversial publisher, which has been set back by the Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2 delays."

    ...i liked it better when it was called System Shock 2 :)

    (If you liked Bioshock, SS2 is well worth the try. Still an amazing game after all these years)
