ohh please, insiderp is still full of shit. their numbers were wrong. they guessed, came close, but were wrong. they said infamous sold 1 million as of the 28th, meaning it sold so in its first week on the market. Sony said it sold so in 9 days. 

insiderp guesses these numbers and post them as if they got a souce. just because they were close doesnt mean they are redeemed

Since OP haven't mentioned insiderp and grubler got accused of being related to it (both wrong) I don't see the relation. And yes keep using insiderp as source would fall in the same cycle I cited. Don't think they are redeemed nor that it should be totally disregarded because it was posted by them (unless it's a absurd rumour).

ahh ok, i thought you were talking about insiderp.

 

regarding the OP, i dont think anybody attacked him, but they (and me) were catious as to the source of the info. the article didnt even have a source. so it was reasonable for people to be skeptical.


Why would they even bother making it up? Outside of this site and maybe a few others, nobody cares about what it sold. The OP also had " IGN confirmed" as the start of the thread title yet people were still blasting him.It is the same people coming in all the time to refute sales of a PS4 game.

Ok understood, just find insiderp happy rumour but never took it seriously.

Well some attacked him saying his source was insiderp instead of checking.

Wasn't insiderp the site claiming that Infamous had over a million pre-orders and acting as if they even knew how many of them as digital pre-order and how many consoles Sony would ship?

Given according to VGC it only needs to have sold 80K on PSN to get past 1 million it seems very likely that it has.
