50 Cent: Bulletproof hits the million mark

PS2 News | Scientists baffled at evidence of human devolution.

Vivendi Universal has announced that their latest thug simulator 50 Cent: Bulletproof has sold 1 million copies between the UK and the US since its launch in late November.

"The exciting convergence of gaming and music helped make 50 Cent: Bulletproof one of GameStop's top selling titles in the month of December," said Bob McKenzie, Sr. Vice President of Merchandising.

"Gamers and 50 fans alike have enthusiastically responded to the groundbreaking fusion of frenetic gameplay and the lyrical imagery of the exclusive 50 Cent music tracks in 50 Cent: Bulletproof," said Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, VU Games. "The strong sales of Bulletproof underscore the undeniable appeal of the artist, his music and the engaging interactive experience that this game delivers."

"I can't believe people bought this crap. Goddamn chavs," said Matthew Keller, PALGN Deputy Editor. "If you ever needed evidence that we live in an anti-intellectualist society, you've got it right here."

50 Cent: Bulletproof is available in stores in the UK, but you won't find it in Australia due to the Office of Film and Literature Classification handing it a rating of RC, due to the belief that the game promotes gang violence.

^ What he said.

Now he's releasign an equally crap movie. My God someone just shoot him in the head (seeing shooting him in the gut didn't work).

'Cause you don't like the rapper you think he should be shot and his life ended? Real mature..

I like 50, but there's no way I'll buy his crap game..

I think VU should get him to write their press releases.

Definately would make things more lively, 50 Cent's next song... VU press release.

"Now this goes out to all my fans, it's great and all that you bought my game, but now your support is needed in *this game*. Also look out for a guest appearance in said game of yours truly, rapping the f***en sh*t out of my adversaries and blinging my wares"

Also note that I don't mind 50 Cent's music, I find some song to be listenable and am open to all music tastes.

<3 the subtitle.

I do agree with Matt, Most of the games were probably stolen and to sound good, the stores 'bought' the copies to at least get some sales...

The one million people that bought this game probably think the games you play are total ****.

It looks like the casual gamer community that love GTA have found their next cool game! I respect 50 as a businessman, regardless of the crap he puts out (all the music, movies, and games).

Shows the idiocy of the human race right there, no need for anymore evidence.

It's to bad this game was banned down here.

Nikack:
i think that is one of the few times when one of those OFLC labels actually improve the cover.

Indeed, I was going to make an Australian version cover for it but I had a mental blank. At least I could find a picture of it

unlike a the old Coon TV logo I was hunting a couple of days ago (no points if you can guess what I was going to do with it).

Back on topic: I'm glad the OFLC banned this, I gather they'll ban 25 to Life as well. The amount of stupid games I see for sale around the place is appalling.

The people that bought this game don't read reviews, remember that.
They don't play video games for gameplay, they play them because it's cool or because they can be imaginary gangstaz for a while...

Americans are fat idiots. UK well...I just pity the bastards who bought this travesty.

And for once I find the Aussy classifications to work rather well. They banned a bad game!
Also, I hate 50 Cent. No really, I can't stand that guy. Everytime I see him I picture my fist plunging into his face very hard, but in full slow motion.
And no, I'm not racist, or am not against blacks or something like that thank you very much, I just happen to have colour TV so there.

Yep and 2 odd million people purchased "Enter the Matrix" too.

Branding will sell every time.

Good part is its only 0.7% of the total console population base. I don't like his music either and I don't like urban street games (GTA included).
