Those are some truly impressive numbers.

What's with the discrepancy between GT5: Prologue numbers on this site and shipped numbers?

Vgchartz: 4.11 m (sold through)
PD - 5.35 million (shipped)

That's 1.24m in the difference.

Is there really that many on shelves, or do downloads make up the big difference?

A little undertracked and a little download bevause GT5:P didn't sell 1 million digital copies.
