THQ's de Blob Sells 700k Worldwide

5
Blue Tongue's colorful platformer de Blob has sold over 700,000 units worldwide on the Wii, according to THQ.

The game--originally developed by design students before being purchased by THQ and further developed by Blue Tongue--has held its $49.99 price-point since its release in September of last year. THQ believes the title's success is partly due to its high production values and "Nintendo-esque" quality.

"The competition on the Wii right now is from Nintendo. That's what we've got to attack," said THQ chief Brian Farrell according to Edge. "The people who buy Nintendo games, [we want to] get them to buy things like de Blob."

    This is a quality game. And I'd say so even if a shacker didn't work on it.
