That is a big number. They must be sure that it will sell.

[OA]

That is a high number of games shipped out on the original realese. But a guess since they're shipping it out for 5 different systems (X-box, Gamecube, PS2, PC, and GBA) it isn't as high as it seems.

actually, the PC version got delayed a week or so i think, so this is only for the 4 consoles.

i figure PS2 pry gets 40,000 of them, as it has the largest user base
GCN pry gets 25,000, since action games like this tend to sell very well on it
X-Box will pry get 20,000, because many X-Box gamers will pass it off as a kids game.
and GBA gets like 15,000, because it costs a lot to make the carts... so if the game fails, they loose less money.

and the PC version will pry get about 15,000 when it comes out too... PC games don't seem to sell very well unless they have "The Sim's" or Everquest in the title.

1, 000, 000 copies. Not 100,000. Interesting. I will be getting PS2 version and GBA eventually.....and if I end up getting a Game Cube then that version too with cable to get Casey Jones story mode if it is not in the PS2 version.

1,000,000?
Quite a bit. 15000 dosent seem like enough for GBA. I better buy one soon so I don't have to wait for the next shipment.
