The Force Unleashed Sells 5.7 Million Worldwide

by Nick Breckon, Feb 11, 2009 6:30pm PST

LucasArts' multiplatform action title Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has sold 5.7 million copies since its September 2008 release, according to Gamasutra.

The figure makes The Force Unleashed the fastest-selling Star Wars game in history.

The game's demo also set records, seeing over one million downloads on Xbox Live in eight days.

Contributing to The Force Unleashed's success was the game's multiplatform coverage. The Force Unleashed was released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS, iPod Touch, iPhone, N-Gage and other mobile platforms.

Everybody else seems to hate it but I liked it a lot! I would have been sad if I paid full price for it, since it was a little bit short for a $50 game, but for a gamefly rental it was pretty sweet.

If they released a PC port they would've sold 5.8 million. Suckers.

Honestly when I played this game, I wanted to like it but didn't after wacking the enemies with my Lightsaber. A Lightsaber is suppose to cut through things not hit it.

The best thing they did in this game is let you start off completely bad-ass as Darth Vader. I'm pretty sure I had a boner when I played the first level.

I rented the Wii version and got stuck on the second level because of poor level planning, a bug, or me being oblivious. I returned the game the next day...

I still want a sword game for the Wii that has "real" sword control. Maybe when the wii motion plus arrives I'll have full control.

These figures feel so dishonest when they're essentially releasing, what, three different games? The n-gage version has the same name and is included in these figures but is a completely different game!

This game needs a little bit more depth. A little bit more length and it will be good. Lets hope they get it right for the sequel. It's one of those games that start off fun but after a while you realize that it's just shallow.
