Midway has today announced that its John Woo action title Stranglehold has shipped over a million units worldwide, with the European launch of the PlayStation 3 version to follow later this month.

The game remained in the UK Video Game Top Ten for a five-week period following its launch and was a Top Ten title in North America for the month of September according to data from the NPD Group.

We are happy with the response to our first front-line next generation game, Stranglehold, and believe that it has provided a solid foundation to build our standardized toolset for all of our next generation titles,” said David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer. “Additionally, our commitment to our expanded direct presence in Europe has been validated with strong results for Stranglehold throughout the territory.
