pc digital sales
that game is huge on pc

750k on Steam according to Steamspy, not bad but not huge either. I'd rather blame tracking errors on vgchartz side and Techland is talking shipped I assume.


is that game only avaiable on steam?
what about gog?

digital consoles sales are also not counted here
and yes i suspect this is shipped, too
for publisher shipped is sold

Nah, I think it's also available on gog, but we only have steam data and steam also accounts for the majority of PC sales most of the time.

LOL how can anyone believe VGChartz over a developer.

- no official numbers from NPD or anything else

- the game wasnt popular and it isnt right now. Can anyone still remember this game for people who havent bought it?

- the launch was butchered

- Vgchartz tracks its at 1.5 Million

So on steamspy this game has already 0.75m owners. 

On PS4 this game is probably around 1.25 physical sales and at least 250k digital.

Xbox One around 600k sales and 120k digital. 

Total: 3 million in sales. So that means that vgchartz is probably heavily undertracked for PS4 and Xbox One. I think PS4 version is over 2m already

When a developer says sales, they really mean to say shipped.

then leave this site. Thanks


VGC is months behind, doens't track digital and doesn't tack PC (which for this game probably is dominating). Also VGC is an estimate, and for games a lot worse than for hardware. So no, VGC-numbers don't support your belief.

Shouldn't the VGC numbers be comfirmation enough that it already reached 5m?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Like a bunch of others have said here, I don't see why they would lie.

That is why I believe... VGC knows nothing about sales.

It really shipped 5 million... deal with it.
