A million in Paradise

Burnout Paradise, the game that jump-started the year of 2008, has now shipped over a million units. It's nice to see a great game, as shown by our review, have great sales every once in a while.

In addition, the guys at Criterion are surely smiling ear to ear as the Burnout franchise as a whole has now sold over 15 million units. Thank goodness the cars don't have drivers, as we'd have a lot of injured people on our hands.

Finally, be on the lookout for the free downloadable content that is expected to expand the Paraside City world that much more.

    Yeah and it's a game that's actually BETTER on the PS3 for once.

    I think that Burnout Paradise would have been better if they didn't put the Free Roaming element in the game and it's the only reason why I didn't buy it. Burnout 3 was just so addicting and I played that game for a long time before I got bored of it.

     

    But, getting back to the article, it's good to see that Burnout Paradise go platinium.

    psn id: gingo... the new direction took was a good thing for the franchise and apart from an option to restart a race is a near perfect fun racing game

    Remember this is shipped, not sold. Last I heard it wasn't selling so hot.

    @ The Game Maybe, but when the game is shipped, the stores have bought the games from EA, so the devs have gotten their money

    Hmm, two systems and only a "shipped" amount?  I just can't seem to wrap my head around it.  I'm surprised it took this long.  Turok shipped a lot and how did that sell?  My point exactly.
