    Not only did it come in as the #1 arcade game (which isnt surprising) but CC managed to Break the OVERALL Live ratings in its opening week coming in at #7 beating out Battlefield Bad Company, ROCKBAND and Guitar hero 3.........Incredible for an arcade game.

    Geowars2 barely managed to be at #10 for one week
    Braid made it to #9 in its first week, Castle Crashers Breaks all the way to 7.

    Good job, behemoth you guys deserve it.

    a 15$ arcade game with no Tv adds, no Marketing force except for the word of mouth isnt supposed to Beat MADDEN09, Halo or Call of duty.

     what it managed in its first week is amazing for an arcade game.
