Players will get a chance to work for Darth Vader himself, as the man in black�s new apprentice. The game fills in some of the gaps between Episode III and Episode IV, with a storyline full of loyalty, betrayal and the Force. It will feature both established and new characters, and its story "has some incredible revelations."
The game will be using "Digital Molecular Matter," an extremely detailed and realistic graphics engine developed by LucasArts in conjunction with ILM, Pixelux Entertainment and NaturalMotion specifically for the game; and a new A.I. system named "Euphoria". Pre-visualization demonstrations were shown at the LucasArts booth at E3 2006. The game developers refer to it as "the Force Unleashed."
From the preview shown, the game will take place sometime after the rise of the Galactic Empire, and allow players to control Force-users. Motion images seen to date highlight the engine's use of Pixelux's Digital Molecular Matter, showing the Force-users engaging in advanced telekinesis and Force lightning.
RELEASE DATE: TBA 2007. info taken from Game Informer, IGN, & wikipedia.org.

LucasArts Shows Off New Games At CES
CNBC - January 6, 2008
Submitted by andrewdski (89) at 3:19PM PST on January 6, 2008
The two titles from LucasArts both rely on technology never used in video games production before. "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed," bridging the gap between both "Star Wars" film trilogies, will let a player act as a Darth Vader secret apprentice, but eventually the character seeks redemption and becomes a true hero.

Lucasart : No multiplayer for PS3/360 Version
TAG - May 15, 2008
Submitted by apujanata (4) at 9:06PM PST on May 17, 2008
Adam Khan, senior PR manager for LucasArts said : To be specific, there's no multiplayer in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, because there is on the Wii, PSP, and DS. As far as specific reasons are concerned, we don't really like to get into the reasons why we don't do things because I don't think there's really a satisfactory answer that people would really be happy with. So, there isn't multiplayer and that's kind of how it is...

1.5 million units sold in a week (All Platforms)
Joystiq.com - September 23, 2008
Submitted by vGInfidel (8) at 4:31PM PST on September 23, 2008
The Force Unleashed has gone on to sell 1.5 million units worldwide in less than a week, making it the fastest-selling Star Wars game of all time. The figures are based on the first five days of sales across all platforms the game is available on. LucasArts states it shipped more than 4.3 million copies of the game globally, but the demand now requires more units to be manufactured.

Yes, I realize now I was too bullish on the DS version. If it had been a decent game and not something thrown together (the videos of it look really bad & reviews are very bad), then maybe it would've been closer to the # I had posted. I didn't put much thought into those #s though, just typed them up quickly for basic illustration.

RE: 1.5 million units sold in a week (All Platforms)I remember seeing lots of adverts for the Force unleashed. That said not being the sharpest tool in the box It thought it had all the models it was being released on at the bottom during the final splash or I could of being seeing a different advert of course.
I am talking UK here so if your advert was US focused then I apologise but the adverts did not appear to help the PS3 much if they were indeed PS biased.

Your points are absolutely valid and any extrapolation would be pure speculation.
Still that is kind of what we do here. Joe80's numbers seem reasonable although I'd take off a lot from the DS number. I don't think it's that hard to make guesses on what sales will be like in other regions.
I'd bet that sales in the US would be very similar to the UK. I'd also say sales in the rest of Europe and the rest of the world would be a bit more even between the 360 and PS3, both taking up a great majority of the sales. PS2 sales will we slightly higher in the rest of the world but the difference is minor.
I guess we will see a better picture when we get NPD numbers.

We know about UK's breakdown, but I don't think we can use UK's breakdown for worldwide, or even other Europe country.
Remember X360 price drop, and the different sales increase in US and UK ?
I think most people are asking about Worldwide distribution between platforms, not UK distribution.

zukaus posted on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360) at 9:36PM PST on September 23, 2008. RE: 1.5 million units sold in a week (All Platforms)I don't know if everybody saw this but we do have a breakdown of initial SW:FU sales by platform in the UK.
"Released across all major formats (PS2, PS3, PSP, XB360, Wii and DS), the LucasArts title storms to No1 in every chart except Nintendo Wii and DS (where it reached No3 and No39 respectively). 48% of sales were on Xbox 360 and 30% on PS3, making it the 10th fastest selling title ever for each format. The Wii version accounted for 15% of sales with the remainder on PS2, PSP and DS."

Good point. I would like to see the difference too. And now that you mention it I can recall seeing commercials for this game from Sony, but none from MS that I've seen. So yes, Sony should/could have a closer amount to 360 sales than previous multiplatform releases.

im actually curious to see how different the actual numbers will be between 360 and ps3. as far as i can tell, the game is being marketed (tv commercials) with sony tags before and after. on the commercial(s) i've seen, i didn't see any microsoft branding

Joe80 posted on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360) at 6:44PM PST on September 23, 2008. RE: 1.5 million units sold in a week (All Platforms)So this includes sales spread out over 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, & DS. Right? N-Gage, Iphone, & Mobil Phone versions are yet to release I think? So this PR from LucasArts isn't anything special IMO, when it's spread out over 6 platforms. 1.5 mil / 6 = 250,000. (Not meant to indicate that this is how it's distributed among the platforms). Something more plausible is
360: 600,000
PS3: 350,000
Wii: 125,000
PS2: 220,000
PSP: 30,000
DS: 175,000
(Just throwing these numbers out for fun, take with a large tablet of salt).
