Article is NOT misleading.
This thread is - and its actually wrong.

It simply says that Metroid sold more copies than Bioshock for the same week - i.e. Metroid week#1 > Bioshock week#2.

My guess for Bioshock week#2 is 100k-150k (maybe less if its still sold out in places) - so this doesn't say much at all.

Again - I'll be shocked if MP3 gets close to 400k-500k week#1. MP2 sold 300k in its first MONTH.

Here is a simple way to gauge the games acceptance. If you have the game, look to see how many people in your list also have the game. My list consists of mostly hardcore users, currently 48 out of 75 people on my list have the game. I added around 10 people from here from the "Metroid Prime 3 vouchers" thread. The rest were mostly friends. Also I noticed a few of the not so hardcore people on my list also have the game. The remaining 27 people either are too cheap to buy it at full price or aren't into FPS type games or haven't had a chance to pick it up yet. I'm guessing my list is a bit on the high side but still... compared to Strikers, there are way more people with Prime 3 on my list.
