Hot damn. That's a whole lot of money.

And yet they bother to complain about piracy?

Who's robbing who again?

No wonder the sound for xp is a cash register.

I wonder how much of it can be from Fallout fans?

Probably not much since I saw quite a few ads on TV for it and its been out for like a week or two now.

I'm gonna guess about .005% of the copies sold went to diehard Fallout fans.

Seems like we'll get tons of sequels

I still don't have my copy yet. I'm beginning to doubt whether it's actually left the US yet. I've ever seen it here, although only the xbox version. Surprisingly, it's the English version too.

saw a thread last night on 4chan where most of the fucktards were for the new game - seemed to be at least a few people who were staunch critics of F3, though.

Should've requested one of us trustworthy Yanks to just ship it to you

Didn't Bethesda have a thread announcing that they sold more copies than Fallout 1 and 2 combined or something?

I can't think of any plausible reason for writing that besides pissing off Fallout fans..

It's still true, but it's not like we care.

The modern gaming industry is an even bigger assfest now than it was a decade ago, therefore fallout 3 is better sequel.
Duh
