Codemasters announced today that DiRT has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide in its first week of sale. Codemasters further notes that the game has reached the number one sales position in North America for Xbox 360 and is in the top 5 globally for all platforms. Additionally, the company notes that the Xbox Live Marketplace and PC demos have been downloaded in excess of 500,000 times. On a console dominated by shooters and action games, a racing game landing at number one is a hefty feat indeed, and landing in the top 5 globally is impressive for any title. It would seem Codemasters is on a roll, with both DiRT and Overlord receiving impressive reviews. We're curious to see how well Overlord does at retail (we're guessing that 500,000 copies is a bit high).
1. DiRT is awesome, but very hard with the MS wheel. Forza plays smoother with the wheel....both are must owns!!
DiRT is beautiful too!!
True next gen, with all sorts of damage on the car and the road, barriers, etc.....the first time a tree branch broke through my windshield, I almost shat myself!!
