You said vgcharts reported this information. And none of these articles report that 500k were sold on launch day. So where is this vgcharts statistic? Also you claimed that UK pre-orders required a $150 deposit. Also you claimed that most parts of EUROPE u have to deposit $50/100/150 to do a pre-order, keyword being most. Just having a link to a couple of retailers is not a valid statistical reference. Here is precisely what you said: http://www.vgcharts.org/forum/thread.php?start=100&id=871 vgcharts itself is claiming around 500k to have been sold on the launch day...By the end of this week i expect to see something around a million. in UK you have to pay $150 in order to pre-order. but in most parts of EUROPE u have to deposit $50/100/150 to do a pre-order.
