yeah this game is unavailable everywhere. Sony picked its flagship game well.

I'm just saying it sold 160,000 first week in America and that Halo is the real deal. I'm not hating the game. It actually looks good.

Still, only 160,000 first week. It's not the real deal. Halo is, with its 3,800,000+.

So you're comparing a new IP with botched launch to a game with three installments and basically one of the biggest launches ever?

I guess your nickname says it all...

164k week Zero.

Well played WS360

Week one sales will be at least double that.

You can look if it's sold out at your local Best Buy there:

Yes, why asking? Even a guy with half a brain would understand that. Halo is still the real deal. Not saying LittleBigPlanet sucks or something, just that it sold 160,000 first week. Let's see how it does second week - maybe it can exceed Gears of War's sales within two weeks after release in America (it needs to sell more than 1,212,275 the following week to do it) and become the new IP fast-selling exclusive king?

A game that isnt even supposed to be out yet sells 160k and ppl claim it failed....where is the logic in that? It does make me very interested in what the sales are gonna be on the actual release week though, if it can sell 160k on very limited release the numbers could be really good for the real release week.

and what we are all saying is that it wasn't even on sale, there were leaks in only some stores, nad even then only for a few hours.

Cool. Just checked Godot's link and saw the user reviews. 12 so far, each one a 5 out of 5. I'd better start cooking up some crow because a lot of people will be eating some next week.
