According to THQ, Homefront, the FPS about a North Korean invasion of the US, has sold over a million copies worldwide since it came out on March 15. The game shipped over 2.4 million units, so there's still a ways to go, but a million-selling game can hardly be called anything but a success.
“We are very pleased with strong worldwide shipments and sell-through for Homefront, and we continue to fulfill new retail orders for the game across the globe,” said Brian Farrell, THQ President and CEO. “Homefront is clearly resonating with gamers and we are certainly pleased with our initial sales results.”
Homefront's sales are encouraging for a few reasons. First, because a "core" game with good sales will hopefully encourage THQ to continue making more "serious" games for the hardcore. And secondly, because this could mean a sequel.
If you'd watched this week's Feedback, you'd know that I love Homefront like the Kim Jong-Il loves Hennessy, and I'm praying that a sequel will expand the game's loopy, over-the-edge hysterics across the pacific and allow gamers to travel into North Korea itself! Can you imagine the kind of levels one could create in Pyongyang's Ryugyong Hotel?
What do you guys think about Homefront?

I enjoyed the single player despite how short it was.
Then I moved on to multiplayer... I enjoyed it at first but the longer I kept at it the more boring it became.
So don't get me wrong I its good (for the most part) but it was overshadowed by the release of Crisis 2.

Rather than a "sequel" I'd settle for them giving me the second half of the game they forgot to put on the disc.

Maybe in the sequel they'll go all out and have them go to the infamous Bunny Ranch so I can hear them say "There are enemies in the Bunny Ranch" Or have them holding out in the last American held territory.... San Fernando Valley.
The sad part is, I could actually see that last part happen.

Looks last gen and is on no one's radar.
Honestly don't get this.

Half way to breaking even. I wonder how much of the sales came from Steam, I'm sure the number is fairly big because of the TF2 tie in.

People are only buying this because it's been along time since any goods games have came out. This is proof that if there is no other games or competition at the time a game comes out people will buy it just because it's the only thing out.

Am I the only one that couldn't help but compare the multiplayer to Battlefield? Every time I played it I couldn't stop thinking of battlefield and how much better it was, Homefront would've been a great game if it had came out before 2007 (Call of Duty 4) but now it's just an outdated game

a huge problem is it's story is a predictable short red dawn retread.
it's multiplayer may be a fine mix of cod and battlefield it doesn't do either any better so why play a lesser product if i wanna play codlefield@home i'll play cod or battlefield thank you very much
BigPoppaChunk
a million is a good goal for a console exclusive not multiplatform!!!!!!!

If I had never played COD4, MW2, or Black Ops... If I had gone straight from BF2: Modern Combat to Homefront, I would think Homefront was the coolest, most detailed multiplayer video game ever created. But I did play those COD games. So I don't. I also don't have Homofront anymore. My former copy is sitting on a shelf at Gamestop, waiting for some poor noob to pick it up.

If Homefront sells millions then there is no god. Oh and the same for Dragon Age II.

The ending is kind of lame.

Same here the freeze bug is killing me almost a week and a half and i still cant play any part of the game. And whats more iratating is no news magazines,websites, or even here G4 have reported this problem to potential consumers warning us of this problem. maybe If someone grew a pair from one or all of these outlets and informed the public about this bug THQ would fix the problem quicker.But noo they praise the game , we buy the game, and are stuck with a nice coaster for our drinks, while we wait for an update to the game. THQ needs to fix this problem or close thier doors. Of the 1 million sold how many gamers are stuck with a worthless game? I sure would like to know because thats how many are being returned.

Yes, I heard the single player was quite short as well. That is a big deterrent for me. I like to feel engaged for more than a few hours. Multiplayer is good and all, but my belief is still that the meat of teh game should still lie within the single player/co-op/local experience

Victim of the "freeze bug". Right after the Kaos logo screen is done my xbox freezes up. Tens of thousands are having the same problem. A few bugs here and there I can understand but nine days after I bought the game I only played 3 and a half online matches before the bug hit. Based on that and the rude responses to reports of this problem on the homefront forums from Kaos devs I returned this game. I don't want my purchase to encourage this company to make another game. Fold and leave it to the pros. Check the homefront forums if you don't believe me.

yeah, Don't they need to sell 2 million to break even, and All of that marketing sure helped
