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....

 

You're right.  It's closer to Big Brain Academy in terms of first week sales, isn't it?  That game went on to sell more than twice as much as MySims (so far).
