The Borderlands series has sold over five million units in the past three months

The Borderlands series has hit some major sales milestones

Borderlands has sold-in over 43 million units worldwide across all its iterations and their respective platforms. The specific term ‘sold-in’ means this number includes units that have gone to retail, but which may not have actually sold through to players, but it’s still heck of feat for a series that’s had only a handful of releases over the past decade.
Of those 43 million sales, 20 million come from Borderlands 2 alone, Take-Two clarified during its earnings call (via Daniel Ahmad on Twitter). The publisher also reiterated Borderlands 2’s impressive player counts – still over 1 million players a month, and the game recently got a big boost in Steam players thanks to the new updates and hype around Borderlands 3.

The publisher also says that it wants to “grow sales with each title” in the Borderlands series. As DomsPlaying on Twitter notes, that implies Take-Two is hoping for more than 20 million lifetime sales for Borderlands 3 – after all, that’s the only way it could surpass the previous game.

Take2 continues on this hype train with 43 million shipped for the Borderlands series. Making it one of the top FPS games around with BorderLands 2 making up around 20 million alone which is crazy. If not mistaken not one Battle Field game has ever reached that even at the peak.

Also BL2 still has 1 million active players a month. One thing Take 2 has that many other game companies don't: Legs. Nice long and sexy.

It’s crazy but deserved. Borderlands 2 (the best in the series) sold the most

Bravo Borderlands

It's very well deserved. You can hate on guys like Pitchford all you want, but there is little doubt that they knew exactly what to do with Borderlands and make it fun.

Although, please keep like Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot out of future games.

Doesn’t surprise me at all, the games have been super popular, are a ton of fun to play, and they receive great post-launch support in the form of dlc campaigns and playable characters. Well deserved.

I can't imaging they would. They were still figuring out BL end-game, and the best part (bank) made it to BL2.

But yeah, it's pretty bad. Recently did the three trials for GOTY enhanced playthrough, and it was still horrible. Probably worse since I did it solo this time.
