Hours after releasing Portal 2 on Steam, creator Valve has announced predecessor Portal has sold close to four million units.
But Portal has likely sold substantially more copies. As GameSpot (http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/portal/news.html?sid=6309201) reports, the four million figure excludes digital download sales from Steam.
Portal launched in 2007 as part of the superb The Orange Box (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_orangebox_pc360) compilation.
In 2008 it launched as a standalone retail product. In the same year a version called Portal: Still Alive (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/portal-still-alive-review)launched on Xbox Live Arcade.
Eurogamer's Portal review (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/portal-review) turned up a 9/10. "And so we're left with a curious contradiction: one of the most interesting and delightful things Valve's ever done, but also one of its least fulfilling," wrote Tom.
