Have you guys not payed attention to ioi here, the game is only being tracked in two territories in this article. WW, (as in MOST territories that count), the game probably did sell 7mill on day 1.


but the 2 territories that we can compare ioi overestimated by 700k

Well, no. It's only one territory as the EU trackers reported 1.2 million day one in UK as well.

Definitely some strong first day sales as we had here. I'm not sure if 7 million WW first day will hold up with these numbers but we definitely are agreeing for the most part with Activision for early estimates.

Last night there was about 1.35mil PSN names in the leaderboads, based on past numbers from sales on this site and the amount of people on those leaderboardsi have found it to be around 33% of people who bought the game within the first few days go online with it.

I'm now wondering if Activision decided not to include the PC sales in their number. This would certainly explain the discrepancy that we're having.
