Capcom Projects 4 Titles to Sell Over 6 Million Units in Total
AppId is over the quota
Capcom has posted projected figures for four of its titles: Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Street Fighter X Tekken, Dragon's Dogma, and Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G in Japan.
In total, they expect over 6 million units to be sold, though have lowered their expectations of Operation Raccoon City by about a half-million units. I had the chance to play three of the games yesterday at a Capcom event, and I am surprised that they expect only 2 million units to sell for Street Fighter X Tekken and I think Dragon's Dogma can be a sleeper hit if it continues to improve through its next year release.
Note that these figures doesn't include projections for the equally as solid Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Asura's Wrath, or Resident Evil: Revelations.

Batman: Arkham City Moves 4.6 Million Units in First Week
AppId is over the quota
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment did a little gloating this morning, and they have every right to. Batman: Arkham City has shipped over 4.6 million units worldwide in just one week of being on the market.
The figure more than doubles the launch week sales of Arkham Asylum, and makes Arkham City one of the top-selling titles of the year. The game also is the highest-rated title of the year on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, metascoring 95 and 96 respectively.
GameRevolution awarded the title with a super-prestigious A-grade on its report card. Something Batman would have totally brought home and showed his parents if they weren't murdered in that alleyway.
Batman: Arkham City is well on its way to being a Game of the Year contender, and quite possibly, winner. Look out for our full end of the year awards, coming in December.
50 MILLION Nintendo DS Units Sold in US
AppId is over the quota
....
With seven years since launch, the Nintendo DS has sold a F***TON of units. That means it's possible roughly 1 in every six people in the United States have owned a Nintendo DS at some time.
I'd rather not think about the worldwide totals at the moment. I think I need to lie down. Do you have 50 Million of anything? Let us know in the comments.
