Rare: Perfect Dark and Kameo “sold phenomenally well”

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at Develop, Rare’s Nick Burton laughed off reports of Xbox 360 launch titles Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero bombing at retail.

“One of the things that I always find funny is when people always quote Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero as being flops at the launch of the 360,” he said.

“In the industry if you break even you’re lucky, you’re in the minority. If you make a decent amount of money you’re really in the minority. You’re in the top percentile. Those two games made a lot of money. For the install base they sold phenomenally well. Kameo is still selling now.”
