First appearing in 1994 Wipeout® set new standards for interactive youth entertainment both with the product design and the integrated product launch. Rather than extending and improving previous computer game genres Wipeout® was created with the speed, style and dance music which led youth culture and instantly became a part of youth lifestyle. The Wipeout® brand has grown through four product launches, each supported by a leading edge marketing campaign, and has recorded sales of over one and a half million units.
