Stranglehold ships over a million worldwide

A top ten selling game in the UK for five weeks following launch.
Midway has today announced that its John Woo action title Stranglehold has shipped over a million units worldwide, with the European launch of the PlayStation 3 version to follow later this month.

The game remained in the UK Video Game Top Ten for a five-week period following its launch and was a Top Ten title in North America for the month of September according to data from the NPD Group.

(a) the PS3 version has just been released in the US for less than a week, (it was released in the US on October 29, 2007,) and,

(b) the PS3 version has not been released in Europe and most most parts of the world?

The "over a million units" refers the Xbox 360 and PC versions, and the title is incorrect.

And this should be in the Xbox 360 and PC channels as well.

I think he meant Stranglehold sold 1 million for all consoles together but it was the PS3 version that tipped them past the 1 Million mark.

The PS3 was launched in the US on Monday - this Monday.

The Midway announcement was made on Wednesday. The script and numbers for the announcement had to take time to prepared. Let's give 'em a day.

Seriously doubt they could get the sale figures in just one or two days. Even VGChartz (who usually gets their numbers before NPD or everyone else does) has to wait till weekend to get their figures.

The game isn't going to do well on the PS3, even more so in Europe.

bumnut6791d ago (Edited 6791d ago )

but only because of the very few quality ps3 games available at the moment

Shipped inequals sold. Or what? Bad title in the article, if it has actually sold over a million already.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Fishy Fingers2384d ago

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord2384d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord2384d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai2384d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord2384d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
