THQ's de Blob Sells 700k Worldwide
Blue Tongue's colorful platformer de Blob has sold over 700,000 units worldwide on the Wii, according to THQ.
THQ believes the title's success is partly due to its high production values and "Nintendo-esque" quality.
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.
"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."
"I'm really glad de Blob has sold so well. It's a good game that's very worthy of it's sales."11 Comments
