Cant believe its selling 60,000-70,000 a week. Its selling as Wii Play and its 60 dollars

edit: QoS was in 200,000 while COD WAW was in 250,000 so far...

Uh, Wii Play is selling at 10X that :P

But any way, very impressive sales, it'll break 500k no problem if it sees an 'others' release.

More money for EA is now considered a good thing, so hooray

After Mirror's Edge flopped and Dead Space didnt sell as its expectation I think EA should reconsider the games they will develop as of now. Reminds me of Mysims and Boom Blox.

Put that money to good use, EA. Make a damn awesome game for Wii.

Edit: Uh, why did you add that infor about QoS and WaW? Lawl. I'm pretty sure WaW will eventually surpass it by a lot more than the current 50k.

Decent game, good branding (Nerf) and two can play simultaneously which is a huge plus for the parents buying it as it keeps two kids preoccupied.

Now if only CoDWaW had splitscreen...

Kids are usually nuts for this game, during a month it was collecting dust on the shelves, then they started to put commercials on Tv during Black Friday week and look what we got.

The power of advertising FTW! BTW anyone here have a experience were a relative or a friend actually buying this game? Im just curious

No.  It's an on-rails shooter so it just needs two recticules - like RE:UC.   

I just couldn't pass up an oppurtunity to dig Activision on that oversight again since CoDWaW is being outsold by Nerf N-Strike.    Seriously I don't know if split-screen would have helped that much, but it sure wouldn't have hurt and it'd make the Wii version distinct from the HD twins.  To be fair though CoD does allow for two recticules too so two can sorta play.

 So splitscreen was the key for FPS success on the Wii then, even Red Steel dont have a online multiplayer the splitscreen makes it a worthwhile game and definitely a million seller. I just hiope 3rd parties realizes that...
