After only one day on the shelves, the Game reportedly sold roughly 400,000 copies of his debut album The Documentary, released Tuesday (Jan. 18). While official figures won't be available until Nielsen Soundscan numbers are released next week, The Documentary is expected to exceed 600,000. And Game remains optimistic. "Hopefully, we'll live up to that expectation - 400,000 in one day. I think that's big," the Game told AllHipHop.com. "I don't think no one has sold 400,000 in one day. It's got to be amazing, so hopefully I'm the first one. Ultimately as long as I do the units I'm supposed to do with me Aftermath, G Unit, 50, Dre, I'm good." Under the tutelage of fellow Compton native and Aftermath mentor Dr. Dre, the Game's name has remained on the tips of tongues and Game expects it to stay that way. "I didn't start off trying to beat [anybody's] records in the first week," Game continued. "I just wanted to put out good music, please my fans, longevity

The Game did not sell 400,000 in one day. i know the music industry very well, its imposible for him to push units like that.

Soundscan inflated the numbers coz they are paid my interscope records. its the same thing def jam did for Joe Budden


Damn, I miss the corporate politics and tricks
where Soundscans are rigged 'n contracts are fixed - Insp Deck


music business = dirty business

It's true he did not sell 400 K but in just one week he was able to jack the # 1 position, which is pretty good for a new artist with his first LP.
