How did OOT flop??? Its a port of a old game, what were people expecting it to sell?? Half a mil and we dont even have the full US sales yet

It didn't push the 3DS above 100k units worldwide, that's how it flopped. Seriously, getting above 100k shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Can we at least see how the system sold in America b4 we call doom? IMHO, i wasnt expecting this game to push the 3DS that much, maybe im crazy but i wouldnt buy a system for 250 just to play a game that i already own, especially when that gmae is full price.

Well it's the reason I will might buy a 3DS. But certainly not at full price (for 3DS or the game), and I don't own / haven't played the original. So I'm probably in a relatively small group of potential buyers.

inFamous 2 2nd week drop is OK but I was hoping for a more rapid move up to 1 million than what this drop indicates.

Duke Nukem is doing better than the reviews would suggest it should. But it's still going to end up doing relatively poorly because it's just not that great of a game. Reviews may be lower than they should be because of the game's history and pedigree but they aren't too far off. I think it's heading towards being the poorest performing FPS of the generation. It might sell more than some FPSs in an absolute sense, but for the good will the original brings to DNF this game is going to be like PS3 sales performance relative to PS2.
