Star Wars Unleashes Force by Selling 5.7M
The Star Wars franchise has been a money printer for LucasArts for a long time, but Star Wars: Force Unleashed takes the cake for being the fastest-selling title in the franchise’s history: 5.7 million copies since its September 2008 release.
It can also be pointed out that the game’s demo also set records, seeing over one million downloads on Xbox Live in a week.
The game, while not received well by critics, can also thank its success for being released on every imaginable platform in the market – all except for PC. It was released on PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, iPod, iPhone, N-Gage and other mobile platforms.

LucasArts: Star Wars: Force Unleashed Definitely NOT Coming to PC
Starting a nice little rumor that Star Wars: Force Unleashed is coming to PC is Pixelux Entertainment, who created the physics in the just-released game. The company’s COO Vik Sohal said: “… just been released last week on the internet, the Force Unleashed demo on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. We have a PC version as well.”
The above comment was made at NVIDIA’s recent NVISION 08 Conference. However, the rumor, as juicy as it was, has been smashed by LucasArts, who was unequivocal in its denial that a PC version is in the works: “I can tell you definitively that there is no PC version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed planned.”
There you have it – rumor started and smashed at the same time.
