First of all, shipped 2.5 million. Brink is still at the bottom of bargain bins which indicates there's still hundreds of thousands of copies unsold on retailer shelves. Sold-to-customer number could be less than 2 million if we exclude PC sales. So it's not undertracked by much by VGC.
Second, the Splash Damage guy says $120-140 million revenue simply because he naively assumes each copy is sold for $50-60. The true number is much lower. The guy most likely isn't lying, he simple doesn't know how much publishers are paid for shipments etc.
Anyway, I am very happy it shipped 2.5 million copies because I love Splash Damage thanks to them making Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and ET: Quake Wars.
