I am sorry, but I think it's about time that VGC gives up on trying to guess numbers....software at least.

Because it's becoming ridiculous. Today's casualty: NBA 2K16.
VGC is giving us a figure barely touching 1 million, 2K has made an announcement weeks ago about selling 4 million. (shipping, to be exact)

No matter who has the authority to publish these numbers, it is obvious that a 300% error is pitiful. And no, they certainly don't have a 3:1 digital/retail split, when every other game is 1:5 at best. Unless you really think that they only sold a small fraction of the shipment.

Concentrate on the forums, guys. Numbers that are a month too late and this much off target are just laughable, no wonder this website is ridiculed in other places.

" It's important to note this doesn't mean 4 million copies of the game are now in the hands of players - instead it indicates how many copies have been picked up by retailers." From the same source you posted.


I pointed that out.

Are you claiming that this game has achieved a historical overshipping record...shipping 4 million then selling under one. You would think that stores would be selling them for $5 by now.
