Wow, I just read through this thread...

Why is everyone so happy about this? 940k? It's not as if it's breaking any records? Modern Warfare 2 sold 8.03 million in its opening week...? 

Because Mario's LTD will stomp MW2s LTD

So, then why don't you celebrate when the legs of this games are shown?

You don't need to break records to have a good opening week. Particularly Japan, where far too many games have underperformed lately. I'm not certain, but I believe this is the biggest home console launch of this gen in Japan. That really is not something to scoff at.

Yeah, Dragon Quest sold better. But try finding something that doesn't launch better than DQ in Japan. As I said, breaking records isn't needed for a good launch. Or a great launch, for that matter.

Final Fantasy 13 will tear this "record" apart.

Quit derailing the thread and being an annoyance.  There's no reason for it.
