Did you even look up the reviews before you post out of your arse? It is doing better than DMC3 at the moment and will likely end up with about the same percentage 85%, making it joint second best in the series and way ahead of DMC2.

 Because it was bundled, and Source's data is just prliminary remember how you told me that

DMeisterJ- if you really think people are doing this cause their fanboys then be that way. But ya could at least pay attention to my post haha. On the other page.

Wow, this place is infested with fanboys, including the mods.

This is the first site i've come across that requires mods for the mods.

 So you agree than DMC 2 having poor reviews affected the sales of DMC 3, thus making any "DMC 4 d0minati0n" argument worthless?

 ..I'm struggling to follow you here. Please, keep to one topic at the time, youre jumping all over the place. First its profit, then sales, then development cost? Never did I quote a cost, nor did I suggest an "Average" game cost that much. I said that early PS2 development was huge...Im gonna end this discussion now before you invent some other random things ive said.

lol

You don't know why development costs are related to profit ?

@ Avinash_Tyagi

I said it was preliminary. I wasn't saying that it was law. I said in my op that it probably sold around 200k this week. I know the preliminary is preliminary. Also, this wasn't about it outselling DMC3 on the PS2; It was about the PS3 being even remotely close to the PS2 version with a much smaller install base. So what are you talking about?

@ Zucas

I didn't call anyone fanboys! And I just read your post. And you make a valid point that it is hard to compare sales across platforms. And I quite enjoyed your Smash Bros analogy. Using percentages, it looks not as good as Melee, but we all know otherwise. thanks!

The one thing we know for certain, is it certainly didn't move a lot of extra units this week.
