Electronic Arts has said that Medal of Honor is ‘off to a great start’ in the US, adding that ‘major retail chains (are) already exceeding their day 1 forecasts.’
The Call of Duty rival was launched in the US Tuesday October 12, with EA stating: “Medal of Honor launched with strong momentum and early internal indicators show that the game is off to a great commercial start. In the U.S., retail response has been overwhelmingly positive with midnight launch events at nearly all Gamestop locations nationwide and with major mass merchandising retail chains already exceeding their Day 1 forecasts.”
US retailer GameStop’s Senior Vice President of Merchandising Bob McKenzie said: “We anticipate Medal of Honor to be one of the biggest video game titles launched this year. This underscores how video gaming has emerged as mainstream entertainment.”
The news comes despite mixed reviews for the title
Medal of Honor launches in the UK tomorrow.
