Cowen & Company analyst reveals first-month sales for Irrational
Games' latest, which is expected to sell around 4.5 million units during
first year.
BioShock Infinite--the top-selling title of March in the United States--sold 878,000 units during the month, according to NPD data from Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz.
In a note to investors, the industry watcher said this figure is "a few
hundred thousand" units above what the company had expected it to sell.
Creutz said BioShock Infinite has continued to sell at a healthy clip in April--thanks to strong reviews--and is likely to sell 4.5 million units (including retail and PC copies) in its first year.
The analyst also noted that Activision's The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
saw "surprisingly strong" sales in March, where it was the ninth
best-selling title overall. Specific sales figures were divulged.
