@pilias_simber, hmm, I never understood the logic that "eventually anything shipped sells." Things only sell if you have enough customers willing to buy the product. If there just aren't 1.2 million people out there willing to buy UT3 (PS3), it doesn't matter that the publisher shipped 1.2 million copies. This is the case with any product. Eventually inventory is just written off and thrown out...they don't take up valuable shelf space forever.
