“We are extremely pleased with the sales of Scribblenauts and credit the game’s innovation and wide appeal in making it a hit with gamers of all skill levels,” said Martin Tremblay, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Scribblenauts is one of our strong original brands, and we look forward to bringing consumers more quality gaming experiences as part of our portfolio game strategy.”

It’s refreshing to know that games can still sell a million even without the high-end campaigns. Scribblenauts, quite notably, came out in a time dominated by sequels, and lookie here, it’s a milestoner.
