Saints Row: The Third has been played by 5.5 million people, according to a tweet from THQ president Jason Rubin. Although it’s not clear if the figure refers to units shipped or sold, the “hit nobody realized was a hit” had shipped 5 million units worldwide in November, suggesting it’s probably the former. Rubin said this total doesn’t include Humble Bundle Sales, which would round out to about 6.3 million. The next Saints Row game began life as an expansion but will be fleshed out to a full sequel.

Thanks, GameInformer.

The Humble THQ Bundle has already surpassed $2 million in sales, and according to a representative of the charity bundle site, contributors needn’t be worried the service is shying away from indie titles.
