Assuming the sales are 60% Xbox 360, 40% PC, that would be 1.08 million copies for Xbox 360. Since the data is from a quarterly earnings call, I'm going to assume these are only the sales through Dec 31, 2008. This would be pretty strong sales in a month and a half (I assume these are just units shipped, not sold through retail, though shipped provides an upward bound for sell through).
The game has been widely received critically, which should give it some legs. I think the sales are on track with the stock price.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 159 ]bids

I would have thought that a 60:40 split was a tad unfair to the 360 version. I would assume maybe more in the region of 70:30 or possibly even higher as they dont include Steam copies.
