His albums were all number 1 worldwide. When your an In. ternational artist and not some indy artist your album comes out and you want to know how it did worldwide. Dude tours in other countries at least twice a year and has a big following everywhere else. Why should he limit himself to the U.S. when hes big in other places too. U.S. sales are important cause that is the biggest market for music but you got to count every unit. Your getting paid on every unit sold. WTF is he supposed to do. Pretend he didnt sell units anywhere else? L.A.X. may have been number 2 on Billboard(U.S.) charts but it was worldwide number 1. It might have pushed 900k in the U.S. but went platinum because of worldwide sales. IT seems like some of you guys are reaching for a reason to hate.

game is very popular in the rest of the world for some reason, especially in africa. 47k and 42k for low populated countries like Canada and Australia are very high numbers.

It's not really hating. Having a #2 album ain't bad. Thing is what kind of charting even counts worldwide sales?

^^^^  they just add up the numbers of what are considered the main "countries/regions" when it comes to (hip hop) sales  .... UK, Australia, Japan, France , Germany and so on ... of course worldwide sales are an estimation which is often exaggerated
and not easy to track with accuracy

^ exactly, and G-Unit inflated the fuck out of their numbers.

Ex: "The Documentary" sold 3.5 mill in the US - Game says 5 mill worldwide (coincidentally the number he talks about selling on the album)

Lloyd Banks' first album sold 1.5 but he claims 3 worldwide. 

Yayo was the worst. He predicted he would do 800k first week and barely reached gold but of course in his interviews he claimed to have sold 3 mill worldwide

My question is where the fuck did they get these numbers? Ill believe it if any of them will post a picture of their plaques.

^^^^ they just made up,  ( or strongly exaggerate) numbers given by Interscope ... 5 millions worldwide for the Documentary seem definetely possible ... Banks probably sold 2 millions WW at best and Yayo didn't reach 1 million WW .

^^^ yayo went gold on the US it's not impossible he went platinum worldwide, anyway to check these numbers?

I think game should be happy with that, huge numbers in aus as well.

Don't know who the hating line was for but I know you not talking about me. Sometimes you live and die by the sword and when you brag and boast about numbers, it's a tough pill to swallow when the numbers don't measure up. (IE 50, etc)

But for the record, congrats to Game for another number one album. I supported it and dig the album.

No the hating wasnt pointed to you directly it was to all fools on here that live to see Game fail. Every topic about this guy that comes up, it seems like people line up to see who can bash him the best. Why do you guys assume he is lying. Every music market in the world tracks sales. America isnt the only technological country out there. Are these guys that stupid that they think other nations arent capable of counting? Seriously?

to Dre-Day: No Im not a staff member but I am a member of this forum and its irritating to see people take shit beyond opinions and go straight to hating. I dont understand why they talk about it if they hate it so much.

i can't think of anyone on here that truly hates game.
some people on here just shit on him for his actions, but most people listen to his music regardless.
sure, there are a few shock posters on here, but i wouldn't call them true haters
