With a 400k debut, Bioshock has a pretty legitimate shot at 1,000,000 units long term. For a sense of scale though - even in week two Madden (across all platforms) - outsold the game.
With the Americas data now in, it is time for the weekly look at Vgchartz sales data. For the week ending August 25, Xbox 360 saw the release of a key release - Bioshock. Additionally, numbers for Madden NFL 2008 in week two across all platforms were quite similar to the debut of Bioshock. That said, it is important to note that Xbox 360 hardware did not see a boost. For more on the current generation hardware sales (PS3,Wii, 360, DS, PSP) as compared to last week, check the chart.

The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!
Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.
No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.
The games that need remaking are.
Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.
PS5 would produce something special.
There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.
I would love this
Expand on the lore
Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines
Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area
Maybe new plasmids
Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great
Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
360 sales went up to only 64K ? But in terms of sales, Bioshock did not fail to impress, it just failed to move more X360 consoles than expected. Hope the coming weeks is good
Awesome news, BioShock FTW! Finally a non-sequel non-yearly-EA-sports non-Wii-Sports game has strong sales. A good new IP that deserves this.
I hope it stays there and outsells those crappy EA games and those old Wii games. It's more than stupid that those year old Wii games (Sports/Play) are up there while games from last month are almost gone.
I'm more than glad to see BioShock sell 400k. I was hoping for 500k but still this is great news.
^^ I'm one of the 400k whoo hoo I'm a statistic! The way 360 sells games they don't need to sell even one more console and they'd still make crazy software sales.
Wii sold 101k! Plus Wii Play over the 2 million marker. EA doesn't know how to make a Wii game yet but lets face it they are starting to forget how to make games for the 360 and PS3 as well.
I am always happy to see a game that people put honest, hard work into succeed.
Grats to them!
To be honest most people who want a Xbox 360 already have one in their homes, of which many of those owners will have snapped up this game.
