It beat my expectations. A new IP point and click game with no advertising and little interest from retailers? I'm surprised it went as high as it did.

"These new users screaming "Bias!" when they've been here all of five minutes are getting seriously annoying. Learn a few things before you talk."


When it comes to video games (software), music, DVD sales. etc. , first-week sales are critical to the long term success of the said product.


I'm goignt to ignore your self-pity and continued screams of "Bias!" to point out that this is, in fact, completely wrong. This is not the film industry, and first-week sales generally amount to a tiny fraction of lifetime sales. Again, go learn some things instead of spouting off in ignorant fashion. 

While we're at it, you're wrong about the DVD and music markets as well. Only the movie-theater business is insanely front-loaded.
