Bad, mainly because Sony needs a big hit to help drive holiday sales and R2 and LBP are barely treading water in the US.

Otherwise it's a perfectly respectable first week, expecting AAA title to shoot the moon is unrealistic.

 

I don't think this is a AAA title. It wasn't advertised enough, it didn't sell enough, and it didn't get reviewed high enough to be compared to your average AAA title.

I mean, a lot of people would argue that Fable 2 isn't a AAA title, but it'll sell much more, is reviewed higher, and was not necessarily advertised more heavily, but it had better ads in the US, at least, lol.

I guess everyone determines their own AAA titles though.

I'm starting to get the feeling that outside of our little world here on the interent, not many people had R2 on their radar, much less at the head of their holiday purchase list. :P

@selnor

Not meeting everyone's expectations is not bombing.

 

The real issue with R2 numbers is LBP is supposed to be the European crowned king this holiday, and R2 is for the US, I would assume, since it's a FPS, but I guess it was just going up against tough competition, with a relatively small US userbase. :P
