OK thanks, Perhaps Microsoft could of used this to sell a few more consoles, Im sure there are some people that have enough spare cash and would buy an extra console just to play their favorite game a week earlier

Have you tried PM'ing ioi for the US data? He obviously has it available for Machina to publish as soon as he gets his software charts organised for each week.

I didn't try but I really doubt ioi would reply back lol

And I didn't want to bother Machina. He's already doing a lot lately! But if you read this Machina you can post the numbers in this thread!

I tried to hit up Machina for my holiday YoY sales tracking thread ... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=210026&page=1# for a bit of self promotion... but he said ioi does the hardware and he didn't have all weeks' data at the time. I was too afraid to PM ioi, that's why I suggested you do it just now

No, they couldn't play the game a week earlier.

They got the LE console a week early and they got to set up their console early then download the game right on the stroke of midnight on the 27th so they could play it without having to wait a single moment past midnight. Unlike all the people who went to midnight launches who had to queue at the store, buy the console, take it home and boot the game up ( ordownload the game), and set the console up, which would probably mean not being able to play the game until about 3 or 4AM.

One thing I think MS would have been smart to do was make the DL code swappable for a physical copy on launch day, provided you hadn't used the DL code of course.
