400,000 on shelves though? Seems a bit excessive.

for 3 versions ?

that's about 130k each. I don't think that is excessive.

It is excessive when at this stage almost all sales of the game on consoles is already made, while on PC it is still going to sell alot considering the nature of PC games.

Also, there isn't excess when it comes to digital sales, which most of PC Borderlands' sales on PC should be. My guess if PC should be atleast 800k, which tells me it has great chance of outselling the Xbox 360 version.

I doubt it will sell more than 2 million copies on the PC lol

That's about as much as Battlefield 2 sold in its lifetime....

According to Dice, Battlefield 2 sold 2.25M in it's first year on the PC.  (June 2005-June 2006) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2

I assume it sold a few more copies in the next 3.5 years.

1. I did that research before and the link is dead and I haven't found any other link on Google for that 2.25m figure. No news report - nothing.

2. This site tracks EVERY Battlefield 2 player that at least created a BF2 online profile: http://www.spieler-daten.de/bf2_global_stats

This means that there are ~ 1.7m player with an online account.

Now we know that the Battlefield series is heavily focused on multiplayer, so I'd say that at least 75% of all BF2 owners created an online account.

With these numbers it sold around 2.2m.

Never in hell more than 3m. That's for sure.
