I work inside the biggest shopping area in downtown Toronto (Eatons center for the locals) and there is every type of store in a 5 kilometer radius. I went to best buy first - rockband 2 sold out. They had lots of Too Human tho... :) Went to eb next - sold out. Went to future shop - got it! Anywho, the fact that it is sold out in 2 of the biggest game stores around should indicate the game is meeting or exceding sales expectations. Does anyone else, who possibly works in a game store... see that this game selling well?

If you go by MGC extrapolations (the website I get XBLA data from), Rock Band 2 is slated to sell anywhere from 400,000-500,000 units this week in North America.
This is far more than anecdotal. This is fact: Rock Band 2 has more players this week than Grand Theft Auto IV according to MGC. Very few games get to wedge themselves in the top-5 very quickly, but Rock Band 2 has. I would be shocked if it sold below 350,000 units. And lets not forget: the bundle isn't even out yet. RB2 could sell well over 1m copies before the bundles launch for the other systems.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
