Is it true Sins has sold 1 million copies already ? woa...In a little less than 3 weeks ?!!! i doubt it very much ... even though i intensely wish that it were so (i dont think that SD & IC company policy would allow them to reveal their sales ##)
I thought I had read that at IGN in their PC News section, but I can't find the story right now and the entries in my history either get 404 errors or go to GDC articles.
There's normally a lot of confusion between units sold, shipped, and ordered so this is probably my mistake.
However, where I live Sins is selling like hotcakes. I have to go out to the stores every week since my lizards/agamids eat like a pigs, and sometimes I waste time walking around in other non-pet stores. Sins is almost always sold out or someone is looking at it when I go dream about big LCD HDTV's or see if there's an old game sitting around for a bargain. As a former 5 year big ticket electronics commission salesman, if you look like you're indecisive sometimes I will whisper things under my breath. If you have the skills, training, and experience like I do to look for the right signs (as in not pissing someone off) you'd be surprised how many people just need a little nudge in the right direction to strike up a random conversation and to do something like put down Empire at War Gold Edition and buy Sins, or put down UT3 and buy Crysis. If I'm meandering around Walmart in particular, the most common thing I see is someone looking at the requirements and wondering if it'll run on their PC. I actually run into a lot of old customers of mine this way too (how do they remember me 8 years later?).
