In a press release issued today, Atari announced they have shipped 2.5 million units of DRIV3R worldwide. Consumer demand for the the title, which just recently hit store shelves, has been reported as "extremely strong."

"Our worldwide shipment is right in line with our plan for DRIV3R," stated Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Atari. "The global Driver fan base is as robust and passionate as ever, as indicated by retail reaction in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, and other key territories."

"With just three days of sales, DRIV3R is certain to be one of our top three sellers for the month of June. We had high expectations for the title and it is meeting them." said Debbie Mola, Divisional Vice President of Merchandising of Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp.

Sounds like they're trying to use the same strategy as the music industry: tell the public that it's popular (regardless of actual popularity) and hope they'll buy it so they don't miss out on the next big thing.

I hope gamers stay away and Atari and retailers take a bath on this.

Driv3r 3 and Atari bashing sure has been at a fever pitch the last couple of days.

Must be slow in the game world right now. :/

To be fair, it did have its own thread but the mods think it's a good idea to keep all Driv3r threads in one place

Oh, okay then. Sorry.

By the way, mine's better. More rolleyes.

Mine is bigger and uses an authentic rolleyes smilie, unlike your cheap ripoff version made in Mspaint

Looks like Atari may have another Enter the Matrix on their hands, which is good from their standpoint.

I'm sorry no way. Enter the Matrix was way better than this game. There's bad and then there's really bad. Driver 3 is really really bad.
