good so you guys wont have any excues at weak sales right?

Haha the only weak sales i see are for Bioshock!!

 

I expected much more than 1.70 million out of a game that got a 96 rating (metacritic).

 

Resistance only had an 86 (10% lower) and has almost hit 3 million.

 I see a trend here... Assassin's Creed scored 81% on metacritic, and has sold nearly 6 and a half million copies across both platforms.  Clearly there is an inverse relationship between review scores and sales.

 

The marketing strategy for Haze now makes perfect sense to me.
