360 can't stop cranking out the hits. 360 is a beast.

And it's shipped numbers. Ubisoft probably overshipped the retailers day 1.

 Tsh, for a 2 million figure and the massive sales smackdown the 360 version of this game had over the ps3 version, it's already sold a million copies.  Cry moar.

Oh definitely. Besides I would really be surprised if it had already sold 2 million considering VGChart's tracking

I'm sure Ubisoft only delivered what was ordered. Don't rag on them if retailers overestimated demand. If they ordered too much, it will help Ubi's current quarter and hurt their next one, is all. It sounds like Ubi is making good sales with good profits, so they wouldn't need to "stuff the channel."



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

It's pretty sad that games like this sell so much. Also, it looks to be undertracked on VG chartz, unless they had huge increases 2nd week.


The difference is way too massive to be undertacking problems. Besides does anybody actually think Vegas 2 is big enough to hit 2 million in 2 weeks? They probably massively stuffed the channel to inflate their report seeing as the FY just ended.

Edit: added the last line after pooper quoted me...


Apparently you forget that Call of duty 4 was undertracked by 600k twice in a row just on the 360 in America alone in November and December last year. There's always a chance for "big" differences to happen on here.

 An average of 82 does not equal a bad game. It mostly lost points due to the similarities to the original, but I would call this a very good game, though they should have got the online ready for day 1

 For a game that is essentially a minor improvement over the first Vegas, 2 million is a ridiculous amount.

 

Expect R6 Vegas 3 to be announced this fall. :)
