why crazzy? why do this thread?

It`s just strange, that LBP sales before official release date in NA, Saturday? (Broken Street Date for LBP) considered as week ONE for LBP. While, for Gears 2 additional sales day is considered as First week.

Does it matter, the game still sold 2 million copies.

Well, when 1st LBP week sales on VGChartz and 2nd week sales on VGChartz will be considered as 1st week LBP sales in NA, then it won`t matter. But for now, it`s kinda unfair, that 1 day is added for Gears 2, while for LBP 1 day is considered as 1 week sales.

CaptDS9E, if it would be around 2.5 mln., then they would mention it, not 2 mln.

Does it really matter then in your day to day life if its off 100,000 or so. Seriously

whats the difference anyway. it sold somewhere around the 2 mil mark.

NO he's right. MS is suggesting 2 million in 3 days while we have it at 2.1 million in 2 days. I'd say there is an inherent issue with that haha.

It says "sales top 2 million" meaning that it's over 2 million sales

always some babies crying about Gears sales being too much.

According to Microsoft, Gears of War 2 had 1.5 million users on XBL play said game, over the weekend.

XBL's penetration rate is roughly 60% of the entire Xbox 360 userbase. If that is indeed true, you can use a simple formula to get near-actuals:

1.5 / 0.6 = 2.5 million units sold by the end of Sunday

So that'd put Gears at 2.5 by the end of Sunday - certainly more than enough leeway for what VGC has Gears at (2.1m).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I *think* what Crazzy wants is to stagger the sales, as the cutoff is on Saturdays(is this correct?), since sales of other games are also counted only on and before the cutoff.

I think it's petty, really. It'll only take out a small amount of Gears 2 sales on week 1. But I guess Crazzy is appealing to the rules and practices of the sampling methodology.

Hope someone can clear this up.
