Mortal Kombat Sells 'close To' 3 Million Worldwide, Has Paid For Itself

Fast-forward a bit, and thankfully it seems to have worked out for history's preferred murderers, with Warner's initial access in the authorization garnering vicious recognition and millions of dollars . According to WB Interactive President Martin Tremblay, Mortal Kombat has already paid for all of the properties acquired from Midway by selling "close to" 3 million units worldwide.

To put that number in perspective, as of June 30, 2011 Super Street Fighter 4 has sole 1.6 million units, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has sole 2 million, both of that have been on the marketplace for a significantly longer amount of time. Considering the remorseful state of affairs that Mortal Kombat was left in as small as two years ago , you can't help but be a small astounded by the modern-day, gore-soaked Cinderella story this tale has become.
