why?in Italy for instance we know (gfk) that were shipped about 90k copies of mgs4...43k were sold in the 1st week: half of the copies still sitting on the shelves.

 

yup around the world everywhere they only sold half the shipment. okay that makes sense.

Even though reports of sell outs in under an hour in Japan and NA... but yup Italy sold half of stock so did the rest of the world

i was just showing you that having 35-40% of the copies still sitting on the shelves after 2 weeks is perfectly plausible...we had MS claiming 8M copies sold of Halo3 in January: so back then 1M copies were still sitting on the shelves (after 4 full months from its release and it took an additional 6 month for the game to sell that extra million...now i wouldn't be surprised if by september 2009 MS claims 9M copies sold) .

 

in the end what's the problem with 1.1-1.2M unsold after just 2 weeks? does it sound so unbelievable? they'll be wiped out in less than a month from now (100% guaranteed)...and in the mean time a 2nd shipment could be done
