Guys,your numbers on VgChartz are way off.It was announced in early July that it sold 3.4 million copies.

So I would say it is nearing 5 million now if it hasn't already reached it.This game might reach Gran Turismo numbers this time next year.

And God,did it deserve it.

That's shipped, not sold.  VgChatz might be way off, but that's not what the thread is abou

 

They clearly stated sold so I don't know what you don't understand about that.

But even if you are correct,difference between shipped and sold is so small,especially for this kind of title,can't imagine much of them standing on shelves.

So yeah,I bet near 5 million by now.You guys are also pretty ignorant about digital sales which are huge these days.

So with 5 million by now times 35$ = 175 million $.

Nice.
