Electronic Arts has announced that the new SimCity has already sold 1.1 million copies, the biggest launch in the history of the series. About 54 percent of the sales were digital, via EA’s Origin service or other digital download outlets.
“SimCity had a great weekend with sales strong across both North America and Europe, adding to overwhelming demand at launch that has us tracking well beyond expectations for the game,” said EA COO Peter Moore.
Since SimCity‘s launch, players have racked up 15 million hours of play time and built more than 5.7 million cities containing over 780 million buildings.
