No, the initial shipment (for the US & Europe) was simply 1,040,000 units.

This game is simply amazing. Just wait til you see some of those new bosses, your jaw will literally hit the floor 
The amount of enemies and explosions going onscreen is just breathtaking. Me and a buddy have been up all night playing it.
Gamespot's score is spot-on and if you're a huge Action fan (me) add another point to it. I think I read someone state how this game reminds them of a 3D Contra with the amount of enemies and huge bosses and I couldn't agree more.

I think you should go and look at Motorstorm and F1
Or any game for that matter. What game looked worse than it did previously? Even the worse looking games saw dramatic improvement as they neared release.

Killzone 2. LOL.
Just kidding guys, most game do get better with time.

I agree with your GF 100%. Gears is a nasty looking. And not in a good way. I appreciate the technical acheivement but the overall art direction is hamfisted.
Lost Planet is pure hotness. Sex sexy game. I played it for hours tonight and actually got in a friendly argument about how much more I like looking at it than the maximum-derivative and over-textured Gears.

Yes Motorstorm and F1 was downgraded a lot compared to the E3 2005 "demos"!

How was F1 downgraded ? it's more like other way around.

the damm innocent eyes wont save you from this silly comment...again.
More like it's good to see the old Xbox 360 "buy the big game..then buy the next big game" effect is still working out. It started way back with GRAW.
Next up in the cycle is Crackdown Feb 20

I know exactly what I say and don't regret any of it!
As for Lost planet I would like to say that the battles are andrenaline boosting and well done, multiple enemies, well done bosses and nice graphics.
I just finished Mission2. Certainly the animation and scale are amazing, but I'm just having a hard time getting into it. The "storyline" and voice acting/dialogue are truly painful, while I'm not expecting Half Life2 this just seems like a throwback.
Perhaps it's the slow movement speed and the somewhat easy difficulty, but it's more of a chore to get through battles than actually being "fun". GoW just raised the bar, while gorgeous the game so far is just too simplistic, there's really very little opportunity for any tactics. I'll have to side with the low-end of the scale so far, say 6.5/7 out of ten - hopefully it gets better.

I have to disagree with you on tactics, actually. One of the things I'm enjoying most (especially evident later in the game) are the tactics you can use to get ahead of the enemy.
A classic example is the start of level 9. You're at the top of a brigde, pointing towards the road, with enemies waiting. There's mechs aplenty at the bottom of the bridge, with rocket turrets on the other side of the ridge, and the overall "way forward' is down the road.
After a few attempts at sniping folks on the road, I decided to try legging it all the way to the end, to see what was does there.... and there's a VS! Beauty. Of course there's a couple of enemy VS's guarding it, so it's no easy win.
Then I try just jumping over the bridge right at the start. The game auto-fire my grappling hook so I can rappel down the rope, and land in a relatively quiet spot. There's all sorts of enemies wandering about, but the haven't spotted me yet. I quietly sneak up to the rocket turrets with my grappling hook up the ledge on the other side, knock out the man driving one, and use it to take out all the enemy VS's in the area. Haha!
Then I drop down, take out the stragglers, and notice a shiny cargo crate. What's this? Shoot the lock and there's a VS inside. Yay! The way forward will be a bit easier now!
Etc etc. You get the point. Stick with it!
Just got my collector's edition today(and the VS toy
It gets so much better... this is the first mech i enjoy
