Looks just like it. Still don't understand the hype though.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Tetris for the Game Boy was bundled in North America where it sold over 23 million. I tried searching for Pokemon Red and Blue, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe it wasn't bundled?

I believe it was bundled... JEMC talked about the first Assassin's Creed with almost 11M, that would ahead of GT1. These kind of figures are pretty achievable for Destiny.

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

So, it will not meet sales expectation. Bomb (to Activision) confirmed?

So have we concluded at which level we are setting the baseline? Nintendogs at 25 million? that one seems fair enough..

whether he said it or not, i can almost guarentee that when kotick says "best selling" he's measuring that in revenue not unit sales.

...meaning throw out anything on mobile and throw out anything bundled with a console. imo, wiifit would be the best measure because not only did it sell a lot, it sold at a premium price. and destiny won't out revenue wiifit. implosible.

So, counting out massively bundled games and cheap digital/mobile games, who is the current record holder? Pokemon Red/Blue/Green and Tetris were bundled? The top games are most bundled,

I actually believe the top non-bundled new IP is Gran Turismo on PS1 with a little more than 10M, looking at the top seller games at VGC. Any game above GT1 is on it's first iteration and wasn't massively bundled?

wow, even ur trophies are in 1080p ;)
