So Aliens sold 85k FW in the UK. This means Tomb Raider sold >190k? Wow, impressive. 1 million WW FW possible?

Here ya go. Topped 1 million in the first 2 days.

Ok, but this is shipped, right? I mean 1 million here on VGC

Also, the game was already sold to costumers on the previous week to launch. I got the game the Friday before release, so two days after release means 1 week really Expect to have a huge drop on the official week 2.

It's still selling better than expected and I hope it gets nice legs, because it's truly a great game.

Ah ok. My mistake. As for it being shipped, I don't think so. Based on what the guys as CD said, I can infer that it is sold. For one they were extremely happy and surprised with the figures and they said over 1M players accessed the game in less than 2 days, so based on that I'm inclined to think it is not shipped.

How many people do you think got it early as opposed to other who got it on time? A few of my friends got it on time, but I'm unaware about the proportion of early to on time.

Yes it is better than I expected as well. I'm glad it is doing well.
