Its doing better then Halo, COD, GH, and RB, with every game in the series combined in a 10 minute time span for those games, that is.

Too funny mike! I believe this game is like the Oscars, the movie of the year generally isn't the largest viewed.

I think those numbers mean the number of copies sold...

This chart compares last year's sales to this year's. I guess the news is good since based on last year's version they cranked the 2008 game out this year:

http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=A ... &weeks=100

Apparently 2008 equaled the total sales of the original in just three weeks, on the Wii at least. There doesn't seem to be data for last year's PS2 version so I'm only guessing this year's are at least as good and probably better.

(30,000*40)+(20,000*20)=1,200,000+400,000=$1,600,000 in revenue.

This game is just great, maybe the deformed chars make a bad impression on some baseball lovers, but the gameplay is really awesome plus all the modes.

Like lanceberkman said, this needs definitely more advertise.

Or maybe this just sells so outstanding in Japan, that any sales here is just a little well-received bonus.

PD: Sorry my english.

actually, i've seen it in nintendo power every month for about 3-4 months, and i saw an ad on the front page of ign for last year's game (one ad in nintendo power last year too).
but that isn't enough.
they should make a TV commercial with not only the gameplay and different modes, but they should flash the statkeeping too, just for a second or two.
