@Carl, there is no reason for anyone to come up with an excuse after selling 800k on the first being a ps3 exclusive.

The only reason some of us expected a million or more is because ioi kept saying it in his previews. Excellent sales, it will have great legs especially in Others.

Well to be fair ioi said he was predicting a million +. darth was the one saying "1 MILLION+ week one CONFIRMED!" or some jazz like that.

Still, much better than I expected.

Darth is ioi's alt account though. Whatever ioi says in the news section Darth repeats in the forums almost at the same time.

but carl said nordlead & ioi are his alt accounts

so what does this all mean!

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

After E3 i predicted 350k first worldwide, then with the pre-orders i didn´t thought it would do more than 750k first week so i´m really impressed with the sales.

I don´t understand how some can say its not amazing, really how many games are able to sell this in first week many game are lucky if they manage to do 1 million sales lifetime. Any game that sells close to 1 million first week is amazing.

It's not amazing for a game that got average of 97 and is a sequel to the game from the same consol in the same generation, it's just very good.

To be honest I hoped for a million, that's slightly disappointing. But- 5th fastest selling PS3 game ever and blew away the sales of the first, very good indeed.

^ same here, hoped for 1m, but hey. 880k is great.

I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!
