Just like Uncharted 2, Borderlands has also broken another sales milestone. The title has reached 3 million copies sold on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined, CEO and president Randy Pitchford has said. Take-Two’s financial results showed that the role-playing shooter had reached the 2 million mark by the end of October, meaning the extra million units was generated in about three and a half months.
In January, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves broke the 2.5 million sales mark since it was released in November 2009. In just over a month since, the game has sold another million units becoming the fastest selling first-party title in PlayStation history. In addition, Uncharted 2 has also garnered more than 150 other industry awards, and has over 1.5 million online users worldwide.
