No that information is horribly wrong.

Bethesda shipped 4.7 million copies in the 1st week

I hope they market this game like hell.

Doubt it'll sell that much lifetime let alone first week/month

will get my copy tomorrow. hope its close to sc4 very good. cause i put a ton of hrs into that game.

What's up with this over shipped stuff. I think 2.5m is a great number. This is Tekken we talking about here one of the best fighters ever. I think it will sell around 3m life time.

good on them for convincing the shops that that many units will sell

I don't think so. They shipped so many on purpose, knowing it would all sell out eventually.

That's irrelevant to the publisher. As the more they ship earlier the more money they make from the game.

Unless of course none of them sell and they have to buy them back from the retailers of course.

Oh. In Uk?

But I've read many here on VGC say that Fallout 3 was one of few games that kept being full price even 6 or more months after release.

High hopes.
