Despite less then stellar reviews, LucasArts latest ‘Star Wars’ themed video game ‘The Force Unleashed,’ has sold 1.5 million copies in its first five days.
The multi-platform release (everything from Xbox, to PSP, to iPhone) still doesn’t beat ‘Grand Theft Auto IV’s’ sales records, but is on track to be one of the top games of the year.
LucasArts is seriously pushing the title for the upcoming holiday season, standing behind it with a huge marketing push that includes toys and book tie-ins. They’ve shipped 4.3 million units to stores anticipating strong sales.
