I remember when Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time came out. Great game, even beating out Wind Waker amongst many in the gaming media at the time. The game was selling like poop until Ubi decided to give gamers a free copy of Splinter Cell for buying it.

Critically acclaimed games sell poorly all of the time--especially when facing the onslaught of quality holiday games. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Personally, I've always felt the game would fail to sell well but I never cared. As I stated in the past, the game can sell one copy and I'll be happy.....as long as that one copy is sold to me!
