^I don't get the "lack of promotion" thing (then again, I never do). There might not have been a lot of TV performances, but she's been performing the new songs at a-nation. She's also been on the cover of a lot of magazines recently, and "progress" has been omnipresent in gaming circles. In additions to TV CMs, the song was playing constantly in stores leading up to the game's release (not sure about now...?), and the game itself sold more than five times its closest competitor on the software charts in its first week. That's a lot of people who--at the very least--were exposed to "progress" and could potentially want exclusive DLC and artwork.

I'd be really interested to learn the final breakdown in FIVE's sales between the three versions.
