Square Enix announces they've shipped two million units of Deus Ex: Human Revolution since the release of the action/RPG prequel under three weeks ago. There's not much else of interest in the announcement except for the note about the game's critical reception, noting that through yesterday, the game enjoys a combined Metacritic score of 89% (interestingly, it actually currently holds an 89 score on each platform).

I think Krovven saying the US doesn't use the metric system is a stretch. There are plenty of fields that primarily use the metric system.
Of course some do, we still use Imperial in Canada for some things. Just like those below, stating Roman Numerals aren't used would be incorrect as well. But officially, the US is still on imperial. Hell most of the print industry uses Imperial standards for paper, because of the US. 8.5x11 inches is a standard Letter sheet of paper in the US and Canada, in Europe it's A4 210 x 297 mm. But we don't use the metric format in Canada, we use the imperial format.
I'll say this yet again, using the metric measurement system applied to money is just plain stupid. And those that want to claim that's how it's done (K, M, B) because of the metric system, their argument falls apart when it comes to B for Billion, as the metric system would be G for Giga.
K, M & B are used because they are socially accepted, not because they are official or proper abbreviations.
'I dont care what the print industry does', is pretty fucking ignorant and immature. Would you care to use "does not, does too" as your argument next time? Who do you think prints all those fancy law books, advertising and financial documents for your industries? And why the fuck should I care about you and your input on how things are done in your industry when you are going to talk like a child instead of having a discussion?
