Confirmed: people like
Battlefield 1943. According to official release, EA DICE’s bite-sized WWII shooter is the “fastest selling day one and week one” game ever on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Chew on that for a second.
Battlefield 1943 has beaten the immediate sales of titles like
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix,
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, and
Castle Crashers.
But the record smashing doesn’t stop there.
1943 is also the fastest selling day one and week one title on PlayStation Network. All together, people have purchased over 600,000 units of the game across both platforms. That’s like, uh, a lot.
While we still have occasional issues connecting with parties, it’s nothing like the first few days of release. Feel free to try this thing now.
We loved it despite the technical issues at the time of review. Plus, everyone’s doing it.

I didn't even know this was due for release until the day I saw it on the dashboard. I promptly snapped it up and have since roped a bunch of other people into buying it too.
Actually, I should intie them...
Hmmm...
Good times...my GF loves it (and might actually be better than me which is not easy to admit) Anyway I have PSN version and it connected like a charm from Day 1...
