Far Cry 2 Sells Over One Million Units

November 11, 2008 9:35 AM

Ubisoft Montreal's open-world shooter Far Cry 2 (PC, PS3, 360) has sold over a million units worldwide since its hit North America and Europe during the week of October 19.

"[Far Cry 2] is well on track to achieve our expectations for the year," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. "The holiday quarter is off to a solid start with the successful launch."

A per-system breakdown of the game's sales was not provided. The PC version topped the retail sales chart in North America the week of its release, though no hard numbers accompanied that feat.

If the console versions make it onto the monthly top ten, US sales figures for the PS3 and 360 releases will arrive later in the month courtesy sales-tracking group NPD.
