at least they sell something. Others have done similar things selling mostly air.
solid idea imo. They might get 10 million, they will surely get advertisement and they have plan b, if it doesn’t work. id should had done something similar.
It might be crazy enough to work, but 10 million seems a little too high. I'm sure some people might buy 100 copies or such, but that would be sending the wrong message to the devs.
"It's official. Grand Theft Auto IV is a video game blockbuster, with gamers around the world buying up more than 6 million copies of the gritty, urban action title in its first week of sales."
it's not a fail, please give proof about pre-order numbers before you state something like that.
Pre-order is different. (for example: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/128448/ha...lion-sold/)
I think the record must be around 2 million and bf3 will have more than 5 million, but I'm just guessing.
also: post release wise,: bfbc2 had 7 million iirc, but if you want big numbers, New Super Mario Bros sold 24 million worldwide last december and I'm sure they sold some more since.
edit: lol they sold more than 70 million Wii Sport... (probably only with the systems)
