It's a mixture of some reasons.

- Some gamers wait for the Wii U version

- Some gamers played the first game and didn't like it (and most gamers who were not interested in the first game will not buy the second game)

- Many reviews mention the bad tech behind Darksiders 2 (popups etc.). I hope they fix the technical problems of the PS360/PC version with the Wii U version.

What are u thinking for the year now? It's pulling these great numbers and the academy edition hasn't released yet and it hasn't even been bundled yet. I think it can pass 8.5million by January at this rate.

I think it can reach 8.5m in December.

With some bundle like that (http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/playstation3-160gb-walmart-anniversary-bundle/10155466) in the holidays I think it can close 9 million but that's the best scenario.

Ye if there were deals like that around all Christmas then it shouldn't have any problem reaching 8.5m. It could a have a good chance of doing more if a new ps3 model is released- maybe 9million but I agree that's the best case scenario. Amazing how it's sold this much so far though. If it becomes bundled as much as forza games then 10million is easily do-able.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

But doesn't sequels sell more than the original usually? And I've also heard about all the bugs in the sequel, which I hope will get sorted out for the WiiU!

Almost two years in the market.

GRAN TURISMO 5 TOP20

i know i said that already to you some time ago but everything else would be bad for a game which is still advertised at least in germany and in many racing series around the world. now we even get the gt academy 2012 as tv show on maybe the biggest tv channel germany's.

just imagine you would invest so much for advertisement and it would sell 1k per week^^

nothing against the game, i just think that these weekly sales aren't really something special with these investments.

Which other game you know with similar ads???

Even with similar or better ads there are few game selling 20k a week near 2 years in the market.
