Amazing! #PS4 exclusive title, KILLZONE™ SHADOW FALL, exceeded sales of over 2.1 million units as of January 15, 2014. @killzone

VGC: 1,23M 11 jan

Shipped numbers but probably undertracked by VGC.

Nah.

DLC is supposed to 1/4th to 1/3rd what physical sales are right?

So you figure 1.23 sellthrough

+ DL sales

= 1.64 million sold to consumers.

Leaves about 400K on the shelves.

That sounds about right if not a little short for remaining stock.

I highly doubt digital makes up for that much, especially for a game like Killzone.  I'd say digital may account for 100K or so.  But, there's no way it accounts for over half a million in sales.

I thought 1/3rd to 1/4th was a direct sony quote for what they do on digital.

Or was that Nintendo?

Downloadable percentages should grow... and honestly, should be higher for launch games since it will be bought by early adapters who are going to be more digital friendly/digitally inclined.

Either way, regardless, you can expect a lot more stock on shelves then you'd see mid or late gen for most games, since there are so few games to be had.

The launch window of the gen is where  500K to 3 million franchises can really shine, doubling or even tripling their expected output. 

Espiecally since it's getting decent add time/at the center of the generic PS4 ads.

All told this will be the best selling killzone by a wide margin.
