lol at that sentence " it still pales in comparison to the 2.6 million units sold of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune".

Please Darth, stop posting crap like this especially when they have no idea how game sales work.

no I will continue to post crap like this as its pachters statement that I have higlighted, not anything else

This thread is about pachters statement primarily & about the website & their article after that

comment on the primary aim of the thread (which is highlighted in the thread title) or leave

Well the fact pachter is using up through Nov NPD results for 650k, we have 2 extra holiday weeks of sales on VGchartz plus all the other amricas, not just the states, i think your overeacting to his statements. Since UC has stronger sales in Others for the first game and thus the sequal, th enumbers look pretty good.

At worst case scenario, taking into account VGChartz being 10% high and NPD being 5% low of reality, VGChartz is "overtracked" by 20k In reality, VGChartz tries to get as close as possible to reality, but has a margin of error of 10% for recent sales, and tries to get closer to 5% for LTD sales. So, I expect we'll see minor corrections here and there as more sales information comes in. In general I would expect those corrections to bring the game down in sales, possibly by up to 100k. Not a lot by any means considering the game will break 1m in America.

Yep, it's just darth uses big words, for not so big situations. Overtracked, by not that much, as title suggests.
