Crom, Funcom's newest MMORPG tops sales charts and hits shipment milestone in three weeks
The Age of Conan continues to gather its faithful; late last month developer Funcom boasted how the MMORGP managed to gather at least 400,000 gamers during its first weekend live. Now it's hit a new milestone, as total shipments for the game have reached one million units across launch territories in less than a month after launch. Funcom claims at least half of these copies were shipped to the U.S. alone, making Age of Conan the current top PC game title in the country. Funcom's MMORPG is also a chart topper outside of the U.S., particularly in multiple countries across Europe like Italy, Germany, and Spain.
"Sales data shows that Age of Conan is the biggest MMO launch since World of Warcraft," said Funcom Vice President of Sales and Marketing Morten Larssen. "The numbers are very promising, and we are very proud to be one of the fastest selling PC games ever in a launch month and the biggest simultaneous Europe/US MMO launch in history."
Age of Conan has certainly become one of the more visible PC game titles, alongside Sins of a Solar Empire, which isn't World of Warcraft or The Sims.
Really, when you think about it, any MMO after WoW that has a high product budget will get all of the left over WoW players and those that swtich over.
So whatever the game, AoC or other will make these types of sale post WoW.
