"Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was the result of countless hours of hard work by many people, and seeing the game surpass the million-seller plateau makes it worth all the effort," said Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat co-founder and creative director, Midway. "We're already hard at work on our next version of Mortal Kombat, and look forward to being able to reveal more details in the future."

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe also continues to set a number of internal Midway records: the game was the most pre-ordered MK title in company history, and more than 3.6 million Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe matches have been played online worldwide on the PS3.

Ah, just realised this is 'shipped' not 'sold'. Always an interesting way of misleading people; I wonder what the actual sales figures are? Vgchartz has is down at just over 1.3 million.

Still, not a bad performance for Midway, especially in their current state. They may not be very good any more, but I don't want them to go under.
