Skylanders Giants compares launch sales to Disney Infinity, still on top
In dollars, Skylanders Giants is still the No. 1 selling console and handheld game in the US and Europe - including its toys and accessories - despite the launch of Disney Infinity in August.
Disney Infinity sold 294,000 units in its first two weeks and was ranked No. 3 in overall sales for August, according to the NPD. Activision notes that Giants sold more than 500,000 Starter Packs in its first two weeks last year, and the Skylanders franchise has generated more than $1.5 billion worldwide in its lifetime. Activision expects Skylanders figures to outsell the top action figures in the US and Europe during the first eight months of 2013.
Skylanders Swap Force, the third full Skylanders game, launches in October for Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3 and 3DS, and later this year for Xbox One and PS4.
