Borderlands 2 shoots through 10 million copies shipped

4.5

Publisher 2K has shipped more than 10 million copies of Borderlands 2, maintaining its spot as the highest-selling game in the company's history, a spokesperson tells Joystiq. Overall, 2K has shipped more than 18 million copies within the Borderlands franchise.

During today's Take-Two financial call, President Karl Slatoff addressed the viability of series developer Gearbox's next installment, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, when it's launching exclusively on current-gen consoles and PC:

"Our view is that if you give consumers what they want, they come out for it. Our catalog sales have done very well – as we announced in this quarter, it's one of the key reasons we were able to beat in the quarter. We have a lot of faith in the Borderlands franchise. There's still a huge install base of consumers; Borderlands is beloved .... We have very high hopes for The Pre-Sequel for current-gen platforms and PC, indeed. But it will be reliant on quality, and we expect to deliver a really high-quality game."

Smurfs That's a huge amount of copies of Borderlands 2 sold, and I'm sure the amount will keep on increasing since it's a great game.

It's not THAT much if you really think about it. Compared to other games at least.

Well this game doesn't get hyped up like cod,watchdogs,gta

It kind of does, just not as much. But I get where you're coming from.

I can believe they did this because borderlands is a good game. And I guess you could say that it is mod friendly?

Hardly surprising, seems like a good game.

probably my favorite game this year, the graphics are amazing,the campaign takes a lot of effort to complete, and the game is generally enjoyable, also loved all of the DLC in this game and that's quite rare to be honest, I cannot wait for the third one.
