LifesBlood writes "Lego Star Wars II has gone Platinum in under two weeks, reports TheForce.net. The title, showcasing the adventures from the original Star Wars Trilogy, has sold over 1.1 Million copies already." From the article: "Set in a tongue-in-cheek Star Wars galaxy, LEGO Star Wars II allows gamers to build and battle their way through the events of Star Wars: Episodes IV through VI. It has earned rave reviews from both consumer and trade press, largely because it is designed for the entire family."

    There are DS titles that have sold 3 million now individually.

    And it's taken them months to reach those numbers; e.g. Animal Crossing has been out since last year, and New Super Mario Bros since May.

    FFIII for DS in Japan sold almost 600,000 copies in less than a week. How is this impressive?

    Total sales of FFIII have only hit 655,533 a month after release.

    Yeah don't get the PC version, I can't believe they would release a product which doesn't INSTALL on a significant amount of PCs (mine included)) ... ohh wait it's published by Lucas Arts, they also released Battlefront II which was unplayable on a significant amount of PCs (yes I am talking high end PCs well above the minimum requirements) and required waiting 2 months for a patch.
    At least they got a installer patch out for the PC version of Lego II after a week or so....
