Mortal Kombat's Proving Quite The Success Story For Midway And NetherRealm.

In scooping up Mortal Kombat developer, NetherRealm Studios, Warner Bros has not only sold "close to 3 million" copies of the recent reboot, but also managed to make enough money to pay off its investment in full. That's some smart business.

For comparison: Super Street Fighter IV has sold 1.6 million units to date, while Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is at around 2 million. Both games have been available for longer than Mortal Kombat itself. Insane.
