Boom Blox is now at 210k worldwide. I think a precedent has been well established that a title can launch to low sales and still sell very well in the long run.

Why are you comparing the first week sales of those to the over one month sales of Boom Blox.... It makes no sense to me.

Boom Blox first week in US - 25,738 <- half of what Sims was....

Did you see me post Bloom Box sales?  No, you didn't so why are you assuming I'm comapring such?   I'm simply showing how what starts off as slow by many expectations can still sell quite well in the long.

 

Yushire, those are VGC's first week America numbers.

 

It's called 'knee jerk' - a person sees something that defies every thing they believe, and they immediately lash out with negativity. Unfortunately, it's a common occurance in forums...   :(

 

Uhh, am I missing something? I'm pretty sure that the part I bolded was where Viper posted Boom Blox sales. He might not have posted Bloom Box sales, but he definitely posted Boom Blox sales.
