Brink Sold 2.5 Million Copies

Global sales for developer Splash Damage's online-focused shooter Brink has reportedly sold over 2 million copies to date.

The sales figure comes from a recent Gamasutra interview with CEO Paul Wedgwood who said the game was successful for the company.

"With Splash Damage, we finished Brink, and it's estimated to have sold more than 2.5 million units worldwide, which at retail would mean that it's generated around $120-140 million in revenue," said Wedgwood.

Brink released last May and garnered mixed reviews. Game Informer editor Matt Bertz scored the game a 6.75 out of 10.

    I don't see how this happened.

  • I got this game for 20 bucks, and i liked it. I do believe that if a sequel were to be done,Splash Damage would do it right.
  • World: really ?

  • Definitely a good game, but it's one of those fan favorites. I've bought this game 3 times, the last time it was only 5 bucks and I still have it and play it often.

  • I have to agree with K1llnYou, this game was grossly overhyped. I honestly couldn't see that happening. After the first five glitches and freezes (not necessarily in that order) I gave this game up as a bad job. But I am glad Splash Damage was able to make some $$$ off this title.

  • this game had potential, and it did not live up to it. All it was A to B missions.

  • I absolutely hated this game. I ignored the bad reviews and was still excited for the game, me and my friend bought it for 5 bucks at Gamestop and returned it a day later. We hated it so much, but with this news that means maybe a sequel will be made. I still feel the game had tons of potential.

  • People that hated this game were either A. Cod Fans looking for another fast paced easy to pickup class based shooter! B.Kids with no brains! C.People who expected something and didn't get what they expected! D.People who have no idea what system requirements are on PC's.
  • Wasn't a figure in those statistics.

  • I was interested in this game until I heard how terrible it is, but now that it's selling new copies for $20-$30 I might give it a chance. Anyone think it's worth it?
  • I loved it I thought it was great

  • Bought it pre-owned hated it so much returned the next day

  • how many were returned? i never seen a game returned en masse like this after a week of sales and the pre-owned dont sell lol...

  • Yeah as far as I could tell the game kinda sucked and didn't look that impressive but I guess it was good enough to sell two and half million copies...
  • It was ok...

  • Thats impressive since I never met anyone that liked the game. lol

  • the solo party looks like ***, wtf Splash Damage???

  • Great idea for a FPS. Just something went wrong. Wish they would make a second and make it A LOT better then the first.
  • Whenever a crappy game sells more copies than Okami did I die a little on the inside

  • How much of that was pre=order? And, how many copies were sold right back?
