That's awesome and if they release it on games on demand, the numbers will soar again!!!!

There are still kinks that could be worked out…but this was definitely an improvement over the previous title in terms of gameplay.

  You are aware that of that $59.99, most doesn't return to WWE, Dimps or THQ, right? There's the store's cut, the production costs, the shipping costs, the packaging costs, licensing fees and a lot of other aspects. When things are divvied up, of that price roughly $10 goes back to the companies that made the game and due to the massive costs of video game development it takes a lot to make a game profitable.
  
  Furthermore, those are units shipped, not units solid.

Don't love the online play they need 2 fix that!!

Shipped is not the same as sold.

  My thoughts exactly.

There's a major difference between Shipped & Sold. How many of those 2.2 millions has been sold?
