@Hurvl whether it deserves the sales or not, the reason I want more people to Bioshock Infinite, is simply so that more people can experience the awesomeness of that game. The amount of "wow", goosebump moments, investment and immersion in that game was more than any other game I've played.

@Shanks_D_Chop @franzito @MinerAvatar one of the reasons why publishers announce copies sold is because that is the only EXACT figure available to them. All sales figures from NPD, etc are based on estimations from surveys. Not fact. They can't report estimations in a quarterly meeting to investors. Exact figures are necessary.

@pozium @nutcrackr true. But there's no way Bioshock Infinite will outsell Black Ops 2 though. As much as I would want more people to play Infinite, because it's a much more innovative game in that the story, world and characters are unparalleled. But there just aren't many games that have as much mass appeal as CoD unfortunately.

@acelogan1989 @sanim02 @cdog21 actually when publishers put out numbers it is the number they shipped and sold to retailers. so 3.4 million is the amount Tomb Raider shipped to retailers. 900k is the number sold in the USA (not globally) to customers. and it is a prediction based on polling by NPD, not 100% accurate numbers. Chances are Bioshock Infinite will have shipped close to 4 million. We'll find out when Take-Two announces their earnings for Q4 in May

@pupp3t_mast3r def. it is going to be a hard game to top for this year's GOTY because of its immersive experience. That's what made this game amazing for me. Combat was fun, but the beautiful world, great dialogue/voice acting, and thrilling story were the stars.

@The-Neon-Seal Murder of Crows is a mass disabler, and Undertow can pull the far away units close to shotgun them in the face or shock jockey them. not completely useless

Fair enough. Im not going to be like other people and burn you for your personal opinion. :) you def arent the only one to have those gripes.

I dont disagree, but it was a small gripe that ddidnt ruin the experience for me.

The Luteces. Check out ta desk in their house, that has a picture.

Isnt it impressive though that even wth all the hype, people still loved the game? High expectations yet it delivered for most people. it was definitely a unique experience that i dont expect to encounter often in games.
