Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on 30 June 1997, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. The series has also had some share of criticism, including concern for the increasingly dark tone. As of June 2011[update], the book series has sold about 450 million copies, making it the best-selling books series in history and has been translated into 67 languages, and the last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history. Beginning in 2001, EA Games began releasing adaptations of the Harry Potter films. Originally they were released for PC, GBC, GBA, and PS1. Then, with the arrival of new generation consoles, XBOX, PS2, and GC versions were created for the second game. NDS and PSP versions were made for the fourth, and in the fifth game, Wii and PS3 versions were released.
