Not at all, 77K for just a few days of sales is quite good, considering the US install base of PS3s is only 2 million. Also, most sales take place in the holiday season, so we'll just have to see how it does over the next six months. Not all games have quick starts; some take time to get going. This is true of all mass media, incidentally - books, novels, films, TV work the same way. Some become hits overnight, others take time.
My favorite example is the Bollywood blockbuster "Sholay". A rock 'em , sock 'em film, released in the mid-1970s. After the first week, everyone thought it was doomed - the theaters were half-full. Usually, this means the film is a bomb. The second week, still half-full. The producers were in despair. The third week... three-quarters full. By the fourth week, "Sholay" had become a sensation. It would go on to break every box office record in India.
