"Killzone 2 ( first week 756,245, second week 327,739, approximately 1.8 million for the first 2 weeks total)"

Killzone 2 doesn't even have 1.8m on VGC yet.

Killergran beat me to it :(

I've been unhyping The Conduit as much as I possibly can every chance I got. I just hope I did my part in holding back the internet hype.

I never hyped/unhyped it, I just did my job and bought it. Just needs to get here fast >.

The Conduit was released in Europe this week, but I didn't buy it precisely because I knew that Kevin Sorbo had a guest role in Dharma & Greg. I didn't like that show.

Yeah. Jenna Elfman pisses me off.

Killzone 2: 1.8 million in the first two weeks <--- you should correct this. It should be 1.2 million.

/ignores rest of the post due to bad math from poster.

It says 1.2 million. What are you talking about?

Read the rest of the thread. NOW!!! LOL

I wonder if a third party Wii exclusive will ever achieve both commercial and critical success. Seems like it's always just one or the other.

Read the reast of the thread. NOW!!! LOL

Now I just have to get banned for extremely bad math.

756,245 + 327,739 = 1,083,984 Which is still not 1.2 GAH!

I guess that you could consider Resident Evil 4 to be a pretty good success in both.

Not huge sales, but pretty good.
