SO not overtracked after all?


Actually it would appear pretty significantly undertracked unless it sold gangbusters in digital copies. We have all versions combined at just over 6 million.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Doing pretty well!



 

MW3 did that in one day lol JK. Anyway good job EA and Dice the shooter market is just huge personally neither series is my favorite as that title belongs to Halo. But really good numbers.



Ya and also Gears of War 3 is undertracked its already cleared 5 million units sold about 2 weeks ago.

"That is really good! Does Battlefield 3 have any DLC or other fees as well to make EA even more money? If so then that game is a gold mine for them! Not quite as popular as COD yet, but they have made decent strides with this game. I.M.O"

Yes got a 750mb update yesterday :p
