This isn't only true for video games, but is also true for movies and music.
Since when do first day or week sales determine the overall success of an item? Spiderman three may have been the highest grossing movie in an opening week ever but it is is FAR from being the overall highest grossing movie ever. Halo 2 may have been the biggest selling game in opening day ever but in the end GTA SA sold almost two times as much during the same overall time period.
So why did we start making first day and week sales the indicator of how successful a certain product is? Shouldn't overall sales be the truth?
