Whoa good thing I checked the discussion...only 42,000 copies in November? Even if they sell 4 times that in December, the game would have a LONG way to go to sell 950k copies.
monkspider, that truly is bearish news. However, I can see this being a game that gains more momentum over time (like Katamari). It is not one of those blockbuster games that people pre-ordered or were expecting to get when it came out. A lot of people may only hear about it via word of mouth months from now.
A totally unscientific channel check of Best Buy during the $30 sale before Christmas showed it near selling out in many locations. However, the VGcharts numbers are very negative.
I would downgrade this stock's status to "strong sell."
During November, the busiest month of the year, this title only sold an abysmal 42,000 copies, which is quite unfortunate because it is truly an excellent game.
I think even optimistic scenarios would only have it selling maybe 200-300k in it's lifetime.
This game is doing so well in the stock exchange here. If there were more people online to buy more of the stock, it would skyrocket xD note, its an awesome game, but the only one which hasnt skyrocketed yet.. hint..hint :P
