THQ today announced that first day sales of Homefront, its thrilling first person shooter, approximated 375,000 units in North America. The game is scheduled to ship in Europe and Asia Pacific throughout this week and was the most pre-oredered game in THQ's history.
"Homefront's excellent multiplayer experience, combined with our commitment to dedicated servers, make this a must-have purchase for gamers," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. "Due to the strong and growing demand for Homefront's multiplayer, we continue to add dedicated server capacity. We are confident that the large-scale multiplayer maps featuring 32 players, vehicles, infantry and drones, will continue to be a major draw for the huge audience of FPS gamers looking for a new experience over the coming months."
"We are delighted with first day sales for Homefront and are already fulfilling re-orders for the game from multiple retailers," said Brian Farrell, THQ President and CEO.
