    Wow, I may have lost interest in the series, but it's quite apparent that a whole lot of people still care. Impressive numbers if nothing else.

    Out of seven billion, I highly doubt that. More likely 9.3mil is the amount of non idiots on this planet.

    Cool! I'm of one the 9.3 million I'm really enjoying it. It surpassed the 6 million expected sales. They should release some free DLC as a thank you to the fans.

    Look, there is no denying those are impressive numbers for any first day sale of any product, but to be honest "1.5 million people who did not have anything better to do" seems more appropriate.

    I also went for the midnight launch of BF3, but it was because I would not have been able to go pick it up during the day.
