“We are very pleased with Scribblenauts’ sales so far. We are hoping the positive word of mouth continues to translate into sales through the holiday season. People were ready for something that changes the way games are played, and developer 5th Cell delivered a game where players of all ages are challenged to experiment and use their imagination. Scribblenauts’ appeal is resonating with people on many levels. When core gamers, kids and parents all love a game, it is a good sign for success. (Scribblenauts is) easy enough for anyone to pick up and play. (The buss) grew into great consumer word of mouth [that] definitely contributed to the game’s overall success…We’d love for Scribblenauts to be the leading third-party title on DS.” – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s president, Martin Tremblay
“Scribblenauts is a strong brand with a lot of potential. You never know what the future holds.” – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s president, Martin Tremblay
“Drawn to Life sold 40,000 units its first month and went on to sell a million. Seeing the sales of Scribblenauts so early and so much better than Drawn to Life, it’s really encouraging to us that people are genuinely receptive to innovative games and it’s not just something people tout as a theoretical. WB took a chance and supported the title where others wouldn’t or didn’t, which I wish more publishers would do.” – Jeremiah Slaczka, co-founder and creative director at 5th Cell
Even though Scribblenauts possesses a few flaws, it is an excellent game nonetheless. And speaking of Scribblenauts, don’t forget to participate in our first contest challenge!
