The demo they released was quite poor and out of date. Still only £20 in the ShopTo sale (along with LBP and Resistance 2 but they have both sold out already).

Which would explain why it would have sold so much despite the charts indicating it was a bit of a bomb. Not counted in charts.

I know the US and UK don't have one but perhaps elsewhere in PAL territories. But still, that would have to be a tonne of PS3s sold in the last month. Maybe there a bundle I’m unaware of?

I think it's utter crap and prefer the first by miles. I can see what they were trying to do; I just think they failed. Edit: BTW, I think LBP hits a million this week. But then again, I did read that in an article that said MS:PR has only done 300k so far...... Can you ask SCEE, guys? Stunned. I think it’s utter crap and prefer the first by miles.

But I'd doubt they'd come out and say 1 Million if they only had 750,000, because someone is bound to find the fault and it would be bad publicity, something they don't need more of. or in the Pacific Rim?

Two weeks in the UK charts (29th / 35th), 1 week in the Japanese top 40 (31st). No weeks in any of the European top 10s. Under 75k in the first month in the US. I know titles can sometimes be slow burners... but you don't pull a million sales in a month if you're not in the charts. Would love to see the breakdown on that. Maybe the game was huge in the middle east or something. :) I have trouble seeing how that’s possible… unless they’re shipped numbers.
