MP3 outsells BioShock?

I'm wondering... is it Bioshock sales at all, or Bioshock sales in the US? Because, well... Europe has Bioshock but no Metroid Prime yet

It's bioshock/prime rankings (no sales figures given) on Amazon's US site. See source blurb above.

I own Bioshock and MP3, Bioshock was an awesome game, and I enjoyed it, but when I got my hands on Metroid, I freaking LOVED it. It is just a better game. More enjoyable, more stimulating, and just more fun to play. Bioshock is surely a big seller for the 360, but hasn't come close to "selling out everywhere"....I have seen multiple copies everywhere I go.
I do hope Corruption outsells Bioshock, cause it just kicks total ass in a way that Bioshock can't even touch, imo...

the only reason bioshock has sold more than MP3 is that it is released on both PC and 360, all the pc gamers I know love FPS, console owners haven't been given too great of FPS experience. Personally I hate the dual analog setup, loved light guns and Wii has the light gun aiming down. One thing I really LOVE about MP3 is if you hold Z you can use the whole screen to aim, not just the very middle like FPS on any other system, makes fighting multiple enemies or hitting multiple targets much more fluid. just wish I could use left or right on d-pad to turn while using z aiming. Bioshock is a good PC shooter but that is old and so overdone already, some aspects of the game are kind of new but really have all been done in other games previously.

lol but mp3 had a huge fanbase, system shock was a cult game, bioshock on 2 platforms being a totally new game in the eyes of most people vs a game people knew they were going to buy before they saw it.
