The game is doing realistically well, though i must say some of our fellow VGCers must be a little disappointed deep inside that it didnt sell a gazillion copies week 1. I also wonder if the recalls have had a lasting effect on the whole thing. I expect it to clear the 5 million mark also, as a game of this much quality and promise should.

Maybe, but I myself always figured it would be the legs that were REALLY impressive and Day 1 would not be blockbuster even if the game totally was.  It's like Sony got a Nintendo game.

 

+1.  That's exactly my position as well.  It actually did better than I expected the first couple weeks.  Usually, new IPs like this sell to people that keep track of gaming news and then sell more with word of mouth / advertising.  If you look at games like Uncharted, Mass Effect, Ratchet & Clank, you can see the sales trend.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
