There are 40m X360s worldwide, give or take. You're not opening to much more than 4m on a base that size - no matter how good a game is, only a certain percentage of the audience needs it immediately, its a pretty hard limit. DQIX opened to 2.3m, on a 30m DS base in Japan, Pokemon Black / White opened to 2.6m on 31m base in Japan. Modern Warfare 2 opened to 8m on a 60m combined PS3 / X360 base, and 4.9m on the 33m X360 base...but that was partly driven by holiday madness. This is September. Halo 2 and Halo 3 both opened in the 3m range.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
