If not yet answered.. how is it that VGC has it at 5.5 when they've shipped 7m?

1.5 million sitting on store shelves? :P ... as unlikely as that sounds maybe we have it undertracked here by a couple hundred thousand or something? haha im curious aswell in the large gap between the numbers =/

I can easily see Red Dead Redemption in the 8.5 to 10 million sold range come Spring 2011. It may be a sandbox game, but it is in a league of it's own in terms of being the only quality Western themed game out. To point to the 800 lb. gorilla in the room, it is not Christmas season yet. Just wait!

Off topic, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has sold on 3.7 million?!? Wowzers, I would have thought the Mario brand would have meant something greater in higher sales, but as with RDR it is not holiday season yet so those numbers will get near 5 million come Christmas.
