According to Videogamer, EA has just revealed that the revered and immensely popular Need for Speed series has topped 100 million units sold worldwide to date. It was the latest release – Need for Speed: SHIFT – that allowed the franchise to hit this lofty plateau and overall, these titles have brought in over $2.7 billion in sales. chronological set of tournaments that challenges the player to complete a set of 8-car races for trophies to unlock bonus cars and tracks, incorporating a monetary reward system that allows a player to purchase vehicles, performance upgrades as well as repairs while earning cash by racing. In addition, each cuptournament requires that the player compete against one opponent in a “High Stakes” race. There are more tournaments on the PC version, and they are different from the console one – for example, the PS version separates the Career into two separate modes, Tournament and Special Event, with the second being optional. We saw the first Need for Speed way back in 1994 and since then, gamers have enjoyed 15 total entries on 14 different platforms; the titles have been released in 22 languages in over 60 countries, and for ridiculous numbers, players have raced over 279 billion miles of roads and race tracks (have no idea how EA knows this), and there have been 17 trillion user-generated vehicle customizations. …that sounds like one of those made-up numbers NASA likes to use.
