Did some research guys, the numbers in the OP are up to February 28, 2010

The critically acclaimed game surpassed three times that number with 280,000 units in sales by the end of their second fiscal quarter, February 28, 2010.

Apparently they are also talking about retail sales:

According to the latest financial results posted by Atlus parent company Index Holdings, first translated by Siliconera, Demon's Souls saw North American retail sales of 280,000 -- well over three times its projected performance of 75,000 units.

Hope this info helps ioi make the necessary adjustments to the games in the OP.

It's retail sales as in sales to retail, meaning shipped. They always word it like that in financial reports. Actual Demon's Souls copies sold to customers in the NA market is less than 280K.

I read that as sales at retails, usually if they are talking about shipments they say shipments. You might be right though, I don't know, I'm sure ioi will give them a call and clarify so he can make adjustments here.
