It seems to be a trend at vgchartz. For years, they refused to update the sales of GT5. Even now, GoW3 and the Uncharted games are undertracked.

And TLoU sits at 2.15M when Sony announced that it passed the 3M mark (admittedly with a few days more of sales)?

2.15 million is where the game stands a week and a half ago, so it's probably at about 2.3-2.5 million now. Plus Sony often announces shipped units, and units sold.

Why do you think Uncharted is undertracked? I've heard people complain about God of War, but never Uncharted.


beause in aprile 2012 sony announced that the uncharted series shipped 17.32 million units. VGC had them at 14M at the same time. the uncharted series being undertraced is pretty much a fact

ooo okay.

It makes sense, All 3 Uncharteds were bundled with the PS3 for a long time. Especially 2 & 3.

i would guess that the UC3 sales are the most ones being undertracked. back in oct 2011 sony announced that uncharted sold 4.9M and vgc was pretty much spot on (if i remember correctly they had it sold at 4.84M) then comes uncharted 3, sony announce the 3.8M shipped number, and vgc has it at 1.3M first week? really doubt that retailers would order that much without that much demand, fast forward to april and sony announces the 17.32M number and VGC has it at 14+, uncharted vita had released, but the console didnt even ship that much for uncharted to have a lot of games on shelfs anyway. its pretty clear that the UC3 numbers are undertracked, by a good sum as well. the 3.8M shipped just dont match with the 1.3M sold

2.15 million is where the game stands a week and a half ago, so it's probably at about 2.3-2.5 million now. Plus Sony  all publishers often always announces shipped units, not units sold.

FIFY.

Sony is know to announced shipped numbers, and never the actualy number of units sold. Others may do it too, but Sony is known most for it.

Anyway UC3 is undertracked, I'm not arguing it

FYI- whn a publisher talks about number of units sold, they are ALWAYS refering to units shipped! Regardless of the publisher.   To a publisher, units shipped = units sold.  Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

i think both game and console are undertracked.

TLOU got the #1 spot in the UK chartz for the 5th week in a row.I believe blck ops has the record at 6 weeks. Can TLOU dethrone it?



MoHasanie on 15 July 2013

Most likely but probably not under tracked by a large amount and much less than Uncharted or GoW3.

Unless a publisher is quoting a tracking service, the numbers they're announcing are shipped, because none of them have a global tracking service and thus pay Media Create, NPD, and Chart Track for their data.

Not all publishers are like that, or at least Nintendoisn't LOL. Maybe Nintendo games just sell so well, the difference between 32 million mario karts sold, and 33 million shipped is negligable. Maybe Sony just give shipped figures early where Nintendo only talk about units sold later.

I also think MS is like that too.
