Now, You know that if Mortal Kombat Deception can sell 1 million units in this short a time, that Halo 2 will be WAY off the scales!!!

Besides, Halo 2 already has well over 1 million pre-orders...and if what I read the other day is true, the actual pre-order figure is over 2 million!

The current 24 hour record is held by Finding Nemo at 8 million copies...Halo, even without the help of a blockbuster movie, most surely will surpass this figure.

Can' t wait for Halo 2!!!!!

One million MK: Deception copies shipped!

Midway Games announced today that Mortal Kombat: Deception, the latest entry in the company' s best-selling Mortal Kombat franchise, has shipped more than one million units to retail stores across North America.

Slashing its way to an amazing start at retail, Mortal Kombat: Deception is the fastest selling game in the history of Midway outselling even its highly-successful predecessor, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, by more than 35% in its first week of release.

Mortal Kombat: Deception' s online mode has also been a massive hit with consumers. Since the game' s launch six days ago more than 130,000 matches have been fought online over PlayStation 2.

" Mortal Kombat is clearly a franchise that continues to deliver innovative gameplay along with the hardcore, intense fighting action that fans have come to know and love over the past 12 years," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. " We' re extremely pleased to see that Deception has been received in such a positive light by both the media and consumers since we first announced the title in March. It' s a true testament to the Mortal Kombat team' s hard work and dedication that consumer interest is high enough to make Deception the fastest selling game in Midway' s history."
