Midway/TNA Update, TNA In Germany & Puerto Rico, Attendance

Midway Games, which developed the recent “TNA iMPACT!” video game, issued a press release today stating that the company has filed for Chapter 11 for its U.S. operations. The release does note that the “TNA iMPACT!” game shipped one million units, but that does not mean one million units were sold all together. This does not come as a surprise considering the headlines regarding the company in the last few months. Sources in TNA were said to be aware the filing was coming and a sequel to “TNA iMPACT!” remains on schedule.
