The CEO of Take-Two has revealed during a chat with The Game Business that sales of Mafia: The Old Country actually surprised the publishing behemoth’s internal expectations.
According to Strauss Zelnick, this confirmed what the company had “suspected”, noting, “Which is just… if you give consumers a great narrative experience that’s a lot of fun, somewhat contained, and at a fair price, then you can have the perfect result.” Actual sales figures were not divulged, although Take-Two did reveal that the game recorded 2.9 million preorders before release day.
