Your PC estimate was much better tha Foamer's lol but I doubt even 600k copies were sold for PC. More like 300k, maybe 400.

Based on what? That would mean there are 600-700,000 copies sitting on shop shelves and in warehouses.

If we're just making figures up, then how about-

PS3 and 360 sold = 2.02 million (figures from here)

PS3 and 360 copies remaining = 0.26 million (if we're considering that 130,000 copies for each platform isn't an excessive amount to be unsold)

PC copies remaining on shelves = 0.05 million (given that PC retail is fairly minimal)

Total = 2.33 million, leaving PC sales at around 670,000.

Your thinking wrong. You simply can't derive the PC sales like that. It's simply impossible for the PC version of this type of game to outsell any console version.

So either you got many copies sitting on shelves - 6-700 K in total (let's say 300K for X360, 200K for PS3 and 100K for PC).

Or the 3 million number is rounded up from 2.8 million, so in actual there's only 500K on shelves.
