NBA 2K10 Sells Over 2M Worldwide

Visual Concepts' NBA 2K franchise remains on top of the b-ball mountain. Today the developer boasts that the latest installment in the series has sold over two million copies around the world.

As if selling a boat-load of your video game wasn't good enough news, NBA 2K10 has done it faster than its predecessor. Both games came out in the month of October when they released, but NBA 2K9 didn't hit the two million mark until the July after it came out, while 2K10 is hitting this lofty mark in February. Perhaps this is a sign that the series is on the ascent and selling to an even larger audience than usual.

How bright is the franchise's future? Time will tell, but for an interview with the minds behind the series as well as a sneak peek at what NBA 2K11 might be like, check out our interview right here.

Third!

No interest in sports games except for FIFA which is the best and most successful sports franchise.

nba 2k11 should be even better
by Muffin Masher Tuesday, February 02, 2010 at 02:03 PM

Good for them, I enjoyed 2k10 very much but it wasn't without its problems. After reading the interview though I think 2k11 will really polish up some of the game's weaker points.

It's the first sports game I've ever played and istill find time for it. That's saying something since I'm sunk into mass effect 2.
