Have you enjoyed your cake since the release of Portal 2 in April? We know 3 million people have worldwide. Valve’s own Gabe Newell has just confirmed that Portal 2 has sold 3 million units global since its release in April. Newell also went on to mention that “Games can achieve commercial success and pack educational value to boot”, at the Games for Learning Institute’s Games for Change conference.
So what does this mean? From Portal’s first debut being a hit success selling over 4 million units since launch of the Orange Box, to Portal 2 selling over 3 million and only two months? I think we have a franchise on our hands that is not only unique, but if pushed in the right direction could be legendary. If you haven’t tried the Portal series I’d highly recommend you play Portal 2. It’s the only game where you can have your “cake” and eat it to.
