Have you ever sen how much increase in PS2 hardware sales did GTA3 or GTA3:SA? =)))
If you expect to see sales going from 150k weekly to 300k weekly for several month because of ONE game, then you are fool.
One game maybe will move aditional 200-300k HW, in next few weeks(800k in month instead of 600k) maybe more, but then it will go to normal, BUT with 5-10k more weekly then before(620-640k per month).
ALL these games will make to go 150k weekly sales to 300k weekly sales for many month.
Did Uncharted make a big boost in PS3 sales? Or Ratchet? or UT3? BUT PS3 still outsold x360 in december 2007. =) That`s because of these games. BUT not ONE game alone.
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...
