EA celebrates Need for Speed, Medal of Honor

Electronic Arts has just released its third quarter financial results, revealing that both Medal of Honor and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit have sold more than five million each.

Medal of Honor has made many headlines in the months leading up to, and following, its release. The game received positive remarks from critics but failed to meet the high expectations of what was considered a Call of Duty competitor.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, on the other hand has been less controversial.
