Brian Hibbs, owner of San Francisco’s Comix Experience and brainchild behind The Savage Critic(s), has an entry where he discusses how Countdown isn’t selling all that well at his shop:

We lost ANOTHER (nearly) 25% between weeks 3 and 4. This *could* be because it was such a small week o’ comics last week, and maybe people are just not coming in, but the other piece of data is that we sold NO copies of week 2 or 3 either this week. That’s really really not good.

We’ll have to wait until the end of the month to see how well the book is actually selling, but most people seem to be saying the same thing: “Not as good as 52″.
