Lifetime Sales Of Skylanders Toys Exceed 30 Million

Needless to say, Activision is very pleased that Skylanders toys have sold so well, selling out at retailers and online across the entire country, sometimes within hours of launch. The company has gone on to say that well over 30 million of the toys have sold, and the game itself was the #1 kid’s game in Q1 2012.

Activision also stated that, including all accessory packs, toys, and games, that Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure was the 3rd best selling game in dollars across all platformers in Q1 2012. Skylanders Giants, scheduled to come out later this year, is hoped to achieve similar success.

“Sleeping Dogs” is actually True Crime: Hong Kong

Square Enix bought the rights to the game from Activision but not the title or brand of True Crime, hence the changed name, but everything about the game has been left intact and the game is essentially the same unreleased one that Activision had cancelled a long while back.

You play Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to break the triads from within themselves.

The game is scheduled for the second half of 2012 release.

Modern Warfare 3 Reportedly Leaked

Game Informer is currently reporting portions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have been obtained by pirates just before its November 8 release date.

According to the report (which is originally from VentureBeat), disc two of the two-disc PC version of the game was stolen by an employee from a shipping factory in Fresno, California. The report states that security might have been too high for disc one to be stolen as well.

Activision has sent investigators to the homes of known pirates to turnover and delete the pirated content. The publisher has suffered similar issues in the past with Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops both leaking just before their release dates as well. Huh.
