No Competitive Multiplayer = Underwhelming sales on X360?

Is this not true of all consoles? PS3 and Wii games sell better when there is competitive multiplayer involved, too. Its part of a games lasting appeal. Having a strong single player campaign mode is a must, but what keeps you playing a game for months to years later is the multiplayer, if it is good enough.

And why did you just do NA sales and not worldwide? Anything above 500k for just one region is astounding.

 

 

Just above 500K in one region outstanding? I beg to differ. There are over 20 million 360s in USA (and that's not counting the rest of America, and VGC numbers certainly include something else more than just USA, somehow)  500K or even 600K is not outstanding by any means especially when it's about critically acclaimed/hyped/well-advertised games. And it's so funny you say above 500K when the whole list I presented doesn't have ANY game above 500K except Mass Effect 2 and FF13. Conviction will certainly pass 500K. Oh no sir, 500K for a 20 million installed base is a flop in any book when talking about high-budget critically acclaimed games.
