    Not a surprise. Usually sequels sell better. The better question is this: if there is a 3rd game, will that sell as good?

    I'd imagine it would, so long as it doesn't coincide with too many other big releases (L4D2 and RE:DC came out on the same day as ACII).

      Yeah I hated that. I went to pick up L4D 2 and the queue was like twice as long thanks to AC2 aswell So I just picked it up from HMV.
