That is insane.
Huh, that's unusual growth for a long running sports game. Even did surprisingly well outside the US. Okay, good for Sony.
my parents in law just got a fantastic black Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe just by part time work from a home computer. .www.FlashCash3.com
I'm really surprised.
Obviously Vgchartz could have made an error with the tracking but if these numbers are even close to accurate then holy shit. Especially if you add on digital. Massive growth!
Seems too high :/
No kidding, I wonder if their marketing was different or the larger user base or maybe a growing interesting in baseball (after the cubs win)?
Ah gotcha, I guess that's that. More/better marketing lead to just WAY better sales. Glad it worked out for them
