I think its good.

But 1 million in 3 weeks... worldwide.

Dimishes it a bit.

How does selling 1 million copies of a unique, non-branded property during a flooded holiday market diminish anything?

Oh, wait, sorry. Its not for the Wii. My mistake.

Exactly my point.

My point was simply that when you look at it. This is counting global sales. It really isn't that difficult to achieve 1 million worldwide in 3 weeks.

Sure it did well, but I would have been more impressed if just North America.

Still not bad for an unknown, new franchise. Especially since it's a relatively special combination of genres.

By the way, who has the game and how is it? I've heard it has a steep learning curve. Is this true? Would you recommend it and why?

The learning curve is fine. I didn't know what people were complaining about. It's exceptionally cinematic. And I don't mean that as in, there's a lot of FMV. There's a lot of dialogue that you take part in during gameplay and the voice acting is exceptionally well done. I'd suggest it to anybody who has a 360 and wants to be entertained. Well worth the $60.

I love the dialouge system in this game. Its the best part, and rightly so being an RPG. I feel so content when i use the biotic lift power and watch as the enemy floats across the room like a balloon shorty before i unleash my shotgun on it. The story is what the game is really about though. A very worthwhile game for anybody that loves the RPG genre.
