Bioshock hits 1.5 million mark

It was recently announced that Bioshock has already shipped over 1.5 million copies. Perhaps because of this, Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick has hinted that a sequel may follow for this important franchise much like what was done with Grand Theft Auto.

Considering how GTA4 and Manhunt 3 was delayed, this is very good news for the developers and publisher of the game. While Zelnick didn’t go into details on how the exact figures, he did mention that he was pleased at how well this game has sold stating that:

It is reported we are the top-selling title at GameStop, less than a month since launch. We have already shipped more than 1.5 million units. Clearly we have a new hit franchise on our hands. And this one was developed internally, and we own the IP. We’re proving our ability to diversify Take-Two’s product portfolio.

This game for the Xbox 360 and PC was released last August and has since then taken the FPS genre by storm. Considering that a sequel has been all but confirmed, what can innovations can we expect for Bioshock 2?
