Electronic Arts head honcho John Riccitiello has slapped a firm stamp of success on the company’s recent Medal of Honor reboot, indicating the FPS has a strong chance of receiving a sequel.
The Afghanistan-based shooter released late last month to mixed reviews, though managed to shift over two million copies in just two weeks, surpassing EA’s sell-through expectations in the process.
. "… Consumer feedback has been strong to suggest that we’ve got a franchise now, once again, that we could successfully and effectively sequel in the future," said Riccitiello.
"The game has exceeded our plan and expectations sell-through and sell-in, and those expectations were they went up as they went from planned to forecast and as we updated our forecast through for the year,” he continued.
"So in every possible gate of opportunity to increase the forecast we did, and then we exceeded those forecast based on strong selling numbers. So it is absolutely clear success as a business for us."
