It just doesn't make any sense that Homefront almost outsold Crisis 2. On its second week!

I dont buy that.

Crisis 2 is huge and I fink there was a EA press release confirming its sales are bigger than Dragon Age 2 and Dead Spaces 2.

I am fully convinced that Crisis first week clearly outsold Homefront first week. No doubt at all.

Outside of the PC world, the Crysis franchise, as a whole, isn't that big. It's only getting much of the buzz it's getting (on the net - I haven't seen much marketing for the game over here) because of it's push on visuals (very much like the original Crysis).

I don't imagine these numbers being too far off, but I could be wrong.

But Homefront is a big franchise?

First, Crysis is already a known franchise.

Second, the graphics debates all over the net gave this game free publicity and hype.

Third, EA already confirmed Crisis beat Ded Space 2 and DA2.

Four, in the official Swedish top-list of best selling games this week Homefront dropped off like a bag of potatoes and the PS3 version is even out of the top 20. Meanwhile Crysis is No 2 and No 3 (after Sims Medieval).
