1.2M shipped vs 4M sold. Which one is more impressive?


This "shipped vs. sold" crap needs to die. Nintendo themselves officially said that the game had sold 1.2 mil. But whatever, I'm sure somehow that's incorrect, or even if correct, inconsequential, yes?

 

lol I still can't see how so many people are saying WD, when it released on 5 different platforms, two of them with huge install bases, one that is a hot new console (PS4), and the game was ABSOLUTELY hyped to the fuckin' moon. It's "From the Makers of Assassin's Creed", a super-popular franchise. It's going to be the same exact deal with Destiny, because it's "From the Makers of Halo". It's built on hype, and people's knowledge of what the studio has done beforehand. I'm not saying WD's numbers AREN'T impressive.....I'm just saying that MK8's numbers, for three days tracked (not an entire week), is more impressive, considering it's one console, and a console that's been selling at a snail's pace recently, with a quote-unquote "low install base".
