The DS result is something other manufacturers should go for :) Sell more than you make - way to cut manufacturing costs!

Still, the undertracking of the year has to go to Diablo 3. It's at 3 million, while Activision has recently said it sold 12 million. I think this is humiliating this whole site...


Do you know that digital downloads is a huge market for PC games? I have ~200 games on Steam, and no one is a retail purchase.

Are you trying to tell me that they sold 3 million in retail and 9 million digitally? The games you have are most probably mainly from some ridiculous Steam sales, aren't they? I can't recall Diablo 3 getting any such sale. So no, this number is terribly wrong, is a disgrace to this service and should be corrected. Moreover, if the publisher officially gives us the number of copies sold, they should listen to them and correct the numbers... I think the publishers know better.

VGChartz only tracks retail sales, do you understand that? IoI won't change the Diablo III sales to 12 millions. It's the same with X360 digital download bundled games, IoI won't add them even knowing the game sales (p.e. Alan Wake) because that's this website philosophy. It's not his problem if you don't like it.
