Deus Ex: Human Revolution ships 2M units
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has shipped 2 million copies throughout North America, Europe, and PAL territories, Square Enix announced today.
If topping the August NPD charts wasn't enough indication, Square Enix has a hit on its hands with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The company announced today that it's shipped two million units since launch, across North America, Europe and PAL territories.
Of course, that figure is for shipped units, not sold. Still, managed to take the top spot in last month's NPD figures, despite being released late in the month. Now that the franchise has been revived with a hit, Square Enix could capitalize on it with further games in the series.
If you've already plumped the depths of Deus Ex, you can look forward to some more this October with the Missing Link downloadable content. It features a shirtless Jensen trapped on a ship bound for an unknown destination, filling in the three-day gap in the story.

What are you, some kind of super genius?-

But it has only Sold 250k!

The 244k number was reported as the NPD sales figure that was leaked from some subscribers, which was then posted on a number of gaming blogs. The number was also the sales figure in NA only, no digital distribution, Wal-mart estimates for the sales from August 23rd to 27th.
I doubt the shacker was lying -- just relaying what he he read from other gaming news sites.

If you read the article that's sell in, not sell through.

"Further games in the series," no. We've seen the Jenson-Denton legacy from the first mechanical augs to global super-conscious; there's nothing more to tell.
"Further games in the genre," that's more like it. Expand on the mechanics and delivery that made the game a hit, but don't needlessly drag on a story just because it had those mechanics.-

Yeah, I'd really rather have a new IP than see the franchise beaten into the ground. Yay games industry!
-
-
oh no, I know. I meant that it could potentially be run into the ground.
-
I kind of doubt it. the scope of these games means they take a while to make. they probably could have spent another year or two on Human Revolution in fact. they're not going to get CoD style yearly releases because the type of game makes it less feasible. they could probably crank one out in two years with a huge enough team but I wouldn't worry about much more than that.

I don't see why they couldn't cover the decade or two between HR and Deus Ex 1

Already done in my mind.

The only "Deux Ex 2" I know of is DX:HR.
I mean, it's a prequel, but I (for serious) had been calling it Deus Ex 2 until a friend of mine was like: "Don't you mean 3?"
It took me a few second to realize I had forgotten Invisible War existed.-
you have to wonder what Harvey Smith thinks of this game, knowing that they not only pulled off a better Deus Ex, but they pulled off what he initially thought wasn't possible on the consoles AND it sold a fortune.

Nope. You can't count those. You can't count packed in codes either.

Deus Ex: Deuces Wild

I still can't believe the ending... augmented crazy zed people? really...? 4 buttons with endings practically taken right from Metal Gear?
-
Is this game seriously worth the $50? My resistance to buying is wavering watching others play it.
-
Yes, yes it is.
-
Amazon has it for $39.99. :D
