Enkele maanden geleden kon je hier op Eigenwereld.nl al lezen dat Mortal Kombat één van de beste titel is die dit jaar is uitgekomen. Gelukkig hebben veel gamers dit ook door en hebben bijna drie miljoen mensen deze top titel in huis gehaald, en iedereen die de story mode heeft uitgespeeld weet dat een vervolg onvermijdelijk is.

According to WB Interactive President Martin Tremblay, Mortal Kombat has already paid for all of the assets acquired from Midway by selling "close to" 3 million units worldwide.

To put that number in perspective, as of June 30, 2011 Super Street Fighter 4 has sold 1.6 million units, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has sold 2 million, both of which have been on the market for a significantly longer amount of time. Considering the sorry state of affairs that Mortal Kombat was left in as little as two years ago, we can't help but be a little surprised by the modern-day, gore-soaked Cinderella story this saga has become.
