Disney Infinity Achieves New Milestone

An NPD sales report says that since the game's release, the game has sold over 3 million starter packs.

Disney's world-building Infinity has sold over 3 million starter packs. Those 3 million don`t include expansion packs into account since the game was released on August 18. It seems Infinity sold almost as much as Activision's Skylanders Swap Force, which is a direct competitor. In December it was reported that Infinity sold 551,000 units, while Skylanders sold over 597,000.

“We’re thrilled that families and gamers alike have embraced Disney Infinity,” James Pitaro, president of Disney Interactive, told the NY Times. “We believe we’ve set the stage for Infinity to be an enduring video game platform.”

Pitaro also said that the sales exceeded their expectations. A big part of this can be because of Disney's new approach by its Interactive team, he said, as it opted out of standalone titles like Epic Mickey 2, instead bringing the $75 Infinity and subsequent expansions to market.

Infinity's high sales are followed by a shaky start, with the game being delayed last year, with Disney's explanation was that the game releasing in June wouldn't be "favorable" for the company.
