Please, leave your crying over your beloved games' low sales for another thread.
People in the thread so far have noted the great advertising, and while that no doubt plays into the sales, I think it's the quality of the game that speaks louder. Advertisements would not explain the massive rise of sales in the UK, in a week where all other software numbers have fallen. That's word of mouth power; people love the game.
I'll put down the current sales history now in case it's adjusted later:
Week | America | Others | Total |
1 | 7,923 | 18,637 | 26,560 |
2 | 12,638 | 41,869 | 54,507 |
3 | 26,215 | 101,300 | 127,515 |
4 | 53,419 | 84,234 | 137,653 |
5 | 79,135 | 73,708 | 152,843 |
6 | 106,854 | 82,490 | 189,344 |
7 | 65,166 | 49,563 | 114,729 |
8 | 34,504 | n/a | 34,504 |

Wait a sec. These are adjusted numbers, lol... I'm too late, then. Well, it was about 40% lower across the board in Americas when the thread was created, around 690k worldwide by its 8th week.
Also, it seems a sequel was just announced. As I expected, though I didn't think they'd come out with it so soon, lol... how unfortunate.
