The numbers aren't in yet, but most certainly not.



I do think it was kind of dumb to launch without the full kit. Timed system exclusive didn't help either.

I bought it though, with drums only. I'm kind of disappointed in the drums however. They are better than RB1 drums but not by much. It's still pretty loud and the rebound is horrible. Is it really that hard to put a bit of rubber on the pads? The drum trainer is kind of half ass too.

Oh well, I'll have to wait for GH:WT so I can hook up some real midi drums.



Methinks the boss knows something we don't



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

In my estimation, it's probably sold around 400,000 on its first week, if not more. So no, it's not a flop :)

It sold over 150,000 on Day-1, FYI.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I bought it and played it last Sunday the day it was released...

Song score leaderboards were over 140,000 for the most popular songs and that's day one. At least 300K in the first week probably.

oh i know lots of things you don't

Rough estimate:

Rock band 2 opened higher or lower than Rock band 1.



Talked to ioi....Hope he doesn't kill me for saying it but...

Its higher than Rock Band 1's opening for the X360 and PS3 combined.

Wow, pretty nice.

I imagined so.

It got a good following, especially with the amount of DLC sold.



Well PS3 game only had a 45k launch, around 225k from 360, so seems about right.
