I'm trying to figure out how many units a few publishers have shipped over the past few years. I wanted to know if anyone had any comments as to the accuracy of the sales data.
I spoke with Activision, who said they shipped approximately 69 million console games in 2008. If you run a 2008 World Chart for Activision and Activision / Blizzard, the total is about 46.5m.
I realize that these charts only capture the top 50 games by manufacturer, but at the same time, you'd need a significantly 'long tail' for games ranked #51 on to make up that kind of a gap.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
