Mortal Kombat sells 'close to' 3 million worldwide
Fast-forward a bit, and thankfully it seems to have worked out for history's favorite murderers, with Warner's first entry in the franchise garnering critical acclaim and millions of dollars. 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.

iJarH3ad Am i only person who hate that game? Damn I'm not very comfortable with the nerds on this site.

How is this nerdy? Call of duty is nerdy, they have MLG and that is a nerd fest. MK is not nerdy at all, its not mainstream like the games you like.

Mortal kombat is my second favourite series based game (final fantasy being 1st) and the game and idea itself is great, beating your opponent to death :D
I've been a fan since MK I and bought every single game to date, ive seen both films and I've hears rumors of a third film, that'll be sick!
Anyway, I'm hoping for a mortal kombat 10 as it's a great game and a asset to my fun on gaming!
Well done midway and warner brothers

Mortal Kombat was a great game, I'm hoping they'll continue and make a tenth one. It would be sad to this be the end of MK.
