THQ announced recently that Homefront has surpassed one million sales worldwide. But how could a game that has received so much negative media have done so well? There are three major reasons for Homefront's impressive sales...

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Yeah its nice, Just sign up and add them to your steam. even f you dont own a gaming PC, you might one day.
Because it was an fps simple really.
Simply the cover of the game makes you buy it.
**Wild Speculation Alert** Maybe because the game depicts the US being invaded. Americans might be inclined to buy it so they can pretend to protect their country, and people of other nationalities might be inclined to buy it so they can pretend to invade the US when playing online. Add to that the shooter nuts who buy most shooters no matter how generic they are.
good game short..but fun
"Why Homefront sold 1 million copies"
Because 1 million people bought it? Too obvious? Obvious sales are obvious.
