This is not true, SoundScan began tracking sales data
since March 1, 1991, TISL did go gold (actual sales of 500K units) in a little over a month after it's release, actual sales of it to date are a bit under 700K. I'm sure someone on here has the actual umbers, (which need to be updated), Im to tired to look it up. And SYW only sold @200k more units than TISL, but I digress.
