Oh right. That makes a lot more sense.
Wait it only sold 600k in a whole continent on launch week?

600k in 3 days is pretty good.

I guess it is, now that I think about it. I was just comparing it to the 5+mil sales across Europe right now.

well yes, all europeans don't have 900$ to spend on a new consol.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
