Although many gamers might argue that digital distribution and the sales of DLC packages is the way forward for publishers, it appears that growth in this segment may have been underestimated.
Electronic Arts Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Eric Brown recently announced that downloadable content sales for recently released Bioware RPG Dragon Age: Origins are already “well past $1 million” collectively, adding that the company plans to support the game with further add ons in the coming year.
According to GameSpot the game, which was released internationally on the 6th of November was accompanied by the $15 (R111) Stone Prisoner expansion, and the $7 (R51) Warden’s Keep. EA is also selling a handful of premium Dragon Age themes for 240 Microsoft points (R22) each on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The executive also added that this success has been echoed by that of Battlefield 1943.The download only fps for Xbox 360 and PS3 sold 1.2 million copies between both platforms in its first month netting the company a cool R133 million.
