Enter The Matrix Sells Like Crazy
NEW YORK--June 19, 2003--In little more than a month on store shelves, Atari’s Enter The Matrix(TM) has sold through 2.5 million units in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan), making it the 14th -- and fastest-selling - title/franchise in the Atari catalogue to cross this sales threshold. Enter The Matrix joins the following Atari titles/franchises which have surpassed sales of 2.5 million units: Driver(TM), RollerCoaster Tycoon(R), Civilization(R), Monopoly(R), Test Drive(R), Unreal(R), Dragon Ball Z(R), V-Rally(TM), Backyard Sports(TM), Deer Hunter(R), Tonka(R), Putt Putt(R), and Freddi Fish(TM). "Having a hit title right out of the box is enormously gratifying but seeing the steady worldwide demand for Enter The Matrix is even more compelling," said Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Atari. "We have a long history of multi-million selling games, and our experience tells us that titles with this level of sales success typically have a long shelf life. From what we have seen to date, Enter The Matrix is right on course."Source: http://www.atari.com/
