Sure, Epic Games’ Gears of War for Xbox 360 might have sold a million copies in two weeks…and Sierra Entertainment wasn’t going to bring it up because it might make other gams, you know, look bad, but they’re setting the record straight now. They’d just like people to know that its Scarface: The World Is Yours video sold more than one million copies in October across the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PSP platforms, according to the NPD Groups’ retail tracking report for Video Game Software Sales. During October, Scarface was the top title for PlayStation 2 and Xbox (lets remember the PS3 hadn’t shipped), the top console game in America, and the top game in America. In addition, the PSP title Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. was the top PSP game in America during the month.

By partnering with the best sound studio in the world and working with a Hollywood legend like Randy Thom, we have ensured that the sound quality in Scarface: The World Is Yours will be second-to-none.”
