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. |
Eh Blizzard has it's own digital store. Pretty obvious that games from Valve, Blizzard and EA have even more digital sales as other third party games on their own services.
Also I think I've read somewhere that the 12m numbers includes a few hundred k units that were free for people who own some Blizzard products or something like that. Can't remember for what you would get it for free.
Also the game has a free starter edition. Maybe they counted those as well.
On retail we know that the first weeks and months were certainly not undertracked in the US. Also it was gone in most European charts after ~2 months. Let's not forget that it came out in May, so the game didn't need amazing legs to chart during the following months.
