THQ estimates one million units sold for Homefront
by Steve Watts, Mar 25, 2011 2:30pm PDT
THQ has announced Homefront has sold an estimated one million units since launch across North America, Europe, and Asian regions. The publisher noted it has shipped 2.4 million units of the shooter to retail since launching on March 15.
The number doesn't sound too unbelievable, since it's counting worldwide sales. We previously saw THQ estimating 375,000 in North America on the first day, so it's reasonable that the addition of Europe and Asia would push it past the million mark. The game also hit #1 on the UK's Chart Track weekly report.
After a launch that included mixed reviews and server troubles, THQ has been accentuating the positive. For our impressions of THQ's new shooter, make sure to read the Shacknews Homefront review.

Big brands see games as the best way to give them visibility in a demographic that barely watches TV and is very hard to approach.
If they haven't given THQ free advertising or anything of the sort they got screwed badly for such obvious ingame advertising.
