Christmas.

In this case MS would've shipped 10 millions of GOW2....

Maybe they did? we can't know unless they tell so ;)

MS is maybe smart enough to not give these misleading sales reports

So basically shops worldwide can sell nearly 2 million DSs in a week(which they must've stocked somewhere), but it's not possible that 750,000 copies of a game are stocked in these same stores?

Weird why people think it's not possible.

Why the hell would the shops buy 1 million units when it's selling 50k a week?

That's a decent point.

The obvious answer would be a misjudgement on sales expectations.

But then that still doesn't answer why they've shipped a million now and not some time ago, because saying it now would suggest they've just shipped some more whereas the sales would suggest that no stores need any more because they won't've sold out of their first lot.

Hmm. Weird.

if legs are anything to go by it will cross 1 Million easily by March.

It will. I want just to remember you, that Motorstorm 2 is bundled with almost every PS3 here in Germany. Maybe other European countries do the same - I have no idea.

In this case Gears 2 is over tracked by 500-600k. Because MS said Gears 2 is approaching 3 million.

It doesn't work that way.

When Sony say they are ahead of 360 in EU by 300k, nothing happen. When MS said they are beating PS3 in EU, guess what? The numbers got changed on the same day!

That's how they roll.

the article refers to sold to retailers as sold

we here at vgchartz call that shipped

You mean that there are 750k units on the shelves? Unlikely.

almost definatly unlikly...............i think the game has sold well and will continue to do so

higly constructive and good arguments given as always, the grammar finishes the perfect sentence.

Says the person who can't spell "highly"?
