"A million units in a week on an original IP coming out of nowhere I think speaks a lot to the concept and the marketing of the game,"
Sure Bilson, the concept and marketing of Homefront will certainly catch the eyes of enough gamers to sell over 1 million copies. Just as poorly-scripted gameplay, extremely short sp, and a broken multi-player meta-game will garner a 71 on meta-critic. Its not like a 71 is bad either, and if your really proud of your product's initial success stop bitching about it THQ. I doubt people will continue to play this game in the coming months, despite the efforts to fix the multi-player.
