Capcom clearly state that it's only PS3 and X360 sales so the PC sales shouldn't be included. I think Capcom keeps PC sales seperately as they are usually outsourced and usually have delayed releases. On this page http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/salesdata.html they list DMC franchise as having 12m units across "19 titles" (not quite sure how they got to that number) as of March 31 2013, if DMC has sold 1.1m acording to them and the franchise had sold 10m units back in 2009 when DMC4 had sold 2.2m DMC4 has since managed to sell ~500k more (2.7m total) that leaves ~400k for the HD pack which seems a tad low... Or they were rounding up a lot when they claimed the franchise hit 10m or rounding down now. I would imagine that Capcom's own shipment numbers must be more reliable than any 3rd party tracker but they could have made a mistake somewhere I guess.

I didn't see the part where Capcom mention PC sales were excempt. That fair enough if they've said that. Since Capcom are talking about shipped units, it raises the question of digital sales. Since I don't know if digital sales are recorded as 'shipped'. So I assumed they were also talking about Steam, Xbox Live and PSN sales, that might not be the case. I'm not sure about that.

That link is a little confusing. Theres only 5 DMC titles. Unless their reffering to DMC4 as 3 seperate releases. So PS3, Xbox and PC. Or maybe they mean, DMC1, DMC1: Greatest Hits, DMC1 Platinum Edition (Europe). Same sort of thing for later editions. Not sure how else Capcom would report 19 titles.

Well Capcom haven't given us a specific number for the HD collection, and it is also available digitally. I'm really not sure what else to say man. Its a little too confusing without Vgchartz to clear up the situation.
