This is going to be adjusted down by a few millions after NPD numbers.

Sure it will. Even after Take-Two gave us the revenue themselves.


No way it sold 17.5 millions FW and you know it.

12-14 millions is the maximum it could have sold. As for the revenue => shipped.

No, I don't actually know it. Why is 12-14m the maximum? That doesn't make any sense.

Also, that revenue was sold to consumers, otherwise the revenue wouldn't be over 1 billion...(the retailers buy it for less than $60).


The revenue generated by the game is the price*the number of sales (taxes and retailers cut included, like in movie business).

The game is 90$ in Europe (70€ = 90$) and 70$ in USA. Make the calcul with VGchartz numbers and it still is way above the 1 billon number.

Lol, so what's with you saying revenue => shipped? You just proved yourself wrong. Because if it was shipped, over 1billion sales would reflect a much higher sales number than 17.5m (because Take-Two doesn't get $60 for each game). 

The movie business reports ticket sales, just like Take-Two reported game sales to consumers. The shipments were likely 20m or more for the first week.

Publisher's revenue is made from selling to the retailer/market, not the consumer. The store has to buy the games from Take-Two then its the stores job to sell it, not the other way around. Your movie business analogy didn't make any sense considering publishers don't know how many units were sold to consumers, only how many they sold to retail. The only thing the head corporation has 100% data on is how many units they shipped to the retailer. You learn something new every day. Your welcome.
