Gearbox: Borderlands "Fastest-Selling" New IP of 2009
November 16, 2009 | 7:31 PM PST

You probably already know that Borderlands for the Xbox 360 worked its way up to third place in software sales for October. But what you don't know is that if you combine the game's October sales across PC, PS3, and 360 versions, it turns out Borderlands actually sold 545,000 units. That's more than Uncharted 2 or Wii Fit Plus.
"We are extremely excited about the reception that Borderlands has earned and I am personally very proud of the incredible team here at Gearbox for having created video games' first great shooter-looter," said Gearbox President Randy Pitchford.
"I want to thank all of the fans of the game who have bought in with us and I want to thank publishing partner 2k Games for taking a big bet on such an ambitious game and standing by the team here at Gearbox Software as Borderlands grew into a very special game - so bold and rare and fun in its style and design."
The team isn't taking a break from development, though. A DLC pack entitled The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is arriving on the PSN and XBLA on November 24, with more to follow.
