1 - How could the PS3 version ships over a million unit when...

(a) the PS3 version has just been released in the US for less than a week, (it was released in the US on October 29, 2007,) and,

(b) the PS3 version has not been released in Europe and most most parts of the world?

The "over a million units" refers the Xbox 360 and PC versions, and the title is incorrect.

And this should be in the Xbox 360 and PC channels as well.

I think he meant Stranglehold sold 1 million for all consoles together but it was the PS3 version that tipped them past the 1 Million mark.

The PS3 was launched in the US on Monday - this Monday.

The Midway announcement was made on Wednesday. The script and numbers for the announcement had to take time to prepared. Let's give 'em a day.

Seriously doubt they could get the sale figures in just one or two days. Even VGChartz (who usually gets their numbers before NPD or everyone else does) has to wait till weekend to get their figures.

The game isn't going to do well on the PS3, even more so in Europe.

While I didn't really enjoy Stranglehold (just enough to finish the game). I do hope it sells well since I would hate for Midway to go under.

Stranglehold was a good game, not a great one but an enjoyable title. I hope that Midway keeps on trying to make titles such as these

This is shipped, technically sold to retailers, but probably not sold to consumers. Because, lets face it. Who the hell would want to buy Stranglehold when you've got real AAA titles already on the market?
