EA: Medal of Honor Sales Are 'Great'

Responding to lackluster review scores and a six percent company stock drop, Electronic Arts announced Medal of Honor is "off to a great commercial start" since its launch yesterday.

EA said first day sales of the game were "great" and that Medal of Honor is "well in position for an outstanding holiday."

The publisher declined to offer exact unit figures, only saying U.S. sales for Medal of Honor were "overwhelmingly positive" and with many retail chains saying the game already exceeded Day 1 forecasts.

"We anticipate Medal of Honor to be one of the biggest video game titles launched this year," said Bob McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Merchandising at GameStop. "This underscores how video gaming has emerged as mainstream entertainment."

Medal of Honor ships this Friday in Europe.
