Hi

The ones that know about the industry know that first week is very important, with a lagging 25.000 units sale can we say that Heavy Rain = Heavy FAIL?

Give me your thoughts on this.

As one of the first people to point this out, I agree. Unless Heavy Rain sells something amazing like 500k its second week (no chance of that), it is a massive bomb.
