Bioshock: Infinite has proven to be one of the most critically successful games of the current generation, and sales of the game has been strong. So strong, in fact, that the game has shipped 3.7 million units, and is being hailed by 2K games as having the most successful launch of any game of the franchise. to date. While the 3.7 million does not represent the actual sales (as those copies of the game have not been sold, but merely sent to distributors), it is an impressive achievement for the game.

The success of Bioshock Infinite has been a huge boon to 2K, which has set many different records for the franchise. For example, IGN has stated that the game was able to top the sales chart for the month of March, despite being released in the last week of the month. 2K is also claiming that demand for the game's season pass, which gives players three of the game's DLC packs for a discounted price, has also been strong.

This news comes from Take-Two, 2K Games parent company end of year financial report, which states that the company was able to have a successful financial year due to a slew of high-profile successes, such as Bioshock Infinite. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had this to say about the successful year Take-Two and 2K achieved.

"With BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, NBA 2K13 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, our 2K label released four of the past year's most critically acclaimed titles.. Our commitment to delight consumers with the highest-quality interactive entertainment experiences enabled Take-Two to have an outstanding year, despite a challenging environment for many in our industry."

Bioshock Infinite is available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. DLC for the game has not had a release date yet, though rumors suggest a new companion will become available as the first DLC pack.
