So the franchise in VGchartz is undertracked by 2.5M, while there are still 500K copies on shelve (or even less)??

3M (aprox)-500K = 2.5M units untertracked

thought purpose of vgchrtz was to track sales sold to cosnumer not shipped to retailer

The site estimates sold to consumer - and the important element is estimates.  It doesn't track as in track actual numbers but it does make adjustments based on factual figures when it gets them.

It seems pretty unlikely that there are nearly 3 million copies of various Uncharted games rattling around on shelves hence it probably is undertracked a bit and the estimates are off and may need adjusting.

Or maybe there are that many copies kicking around - but like I say I doubt it.  That's just too high a ratio for a series that sells well solidly - retailers wouldn't allow that level of stock to remain and still order more.
