Kingdoms Of Amalur Hits 410,000 Sold
It's tough to succeed when you're a new studio and you've got a new IP on the market.
But it seems 38 Studios has scored a big hit with their first effort, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. If you've enjoyed the large, immersive, colorful environment, you're certainly not alone.
According to data given to Rhode Island news station WPRI by the NPD Group and as cited by GamesIndustry.biz, the popular role-playing game has sold 410,000 units in the US to date. Unsurprisingly, the majority of these sales (330,000, in fact) came in the game's first month of availability; the NPD reports 80,000 being sold in March. NPD spokesperson David Riley called the tally "an impressive figure for just two months, no matter how you slice it."
Currently, 38 Studios is working on the MMO Copernicus, which is based in the same world as Amalur. Hopefully, the future is quite bright for this talented team.

Surprised you have Metro on there, thats one of my favourite games but a lot of people complained about the aiming and the difficulty. I thought it had amazing atmosphere though. Can't wait for the sequel.
Alright now I have an idea of what you like. Which is there isn't really a genre you like, it seems you either like a game or don't based on how its resonates with you.
It honestly seemed like every article was you just trolling on how said game sucked. So I was curious what games you actually did like if any ;)

sigh, i will never understand you people!
complain about 1 tiny thing and that automatically means you hate the game!
every single game ever released has its faults, and im going to point them out it does not mean i dont like them!
sigh.

Hopefully Big Huge Games makes enough off of it to keep working on their world.
