THQ has announced that it has, to date, shipped 1.2 million copies of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine across it’s three release platforms.
The game launched in September, and the announcement was made during a THQ investor call earlier today.
THQ CEO, Brian Farrell, said that the sales figures came in “slightly ahead of expectations.”
Despite the relative success of the new IP, THQ’s quarterly financial report was generally poor, with the company posting a net loss of $92.4 million.
The same time last year THQ reported a loss of $47 million.
Farrell remains cautiously optimistic going forward, however, saying “Our two biggest quarters of the year remain ahead of us, and we are focused on execution.”
“In Q3 we are planning for the largest quarter in our history, in terms of sales and earnings, driven by Saints Row: The Third, the uDraw GameTablet, and WWE ’12. With UFC Undisputed 3 launching in the fourth quarter, we are well-positioned to deliver a strong second half of fiscal 2012.”
