It still is a flop score wise here on Gamespot, thank goodness I don't buy into that garbage though.

I think its safe to say that it isn't just sales to shops, considering this news actually comes from multiple sources.. sour grapes much?

We all know how valid gamespot reviews are now :)

When I say garbage I mean the stupid "ownage" system used here reffering to games that "flop" as though they are bad or something. Last time I checked 8.5 was great.

I thought that is how many it has shipped eerywhere else it says 700, 000 units sold.

Shipping is different then actually selling them.

It was funny how some sheep said Mass Effect flopped. Mass Effect didnt sell like Halo 3, but it has solid legs.

And if sheep want to laugh at something, what about Metroid Prime Corruption? Did it pass 1 million yet? Jeez louise I dont think it has. What are the excuses now?

PhoebusFlows

who said it flopped?

I have bever seen any smart person say this game has flopped

Also MP3 has not yet released everywhere and is catered to a specific crowd also it will sell one million very soon. You dont need to be such an @ss about it.

Esp when Wii sold more software in Europe and Japan.
