I'm confused by your response.

Are you saying VGChartz is wrong about Bloodborne?
Are you saying Sony is lying about Bloodborne doing 2 million with digital numbers?

I'm using the information available to us.

you are using estimates, that have proven to be wrong time and time again, as a fact to try prove your point.

VGC shows Bloodborne at 1.5 million as of november. Sony says it sold 2 million as of september. VGC must be right and spot on. no way they could possibly be undertracking it. 

@Bolded: im honestly questioning how serious you are when you ask questions like that. 

I'm just going with the number Sony claim. They published the game and have the digital sales info. If you say they're lying, well I don't know your sources.

Either way, you're being overly aggressive considering my source is Sony themselves. So chill the fuck out.


You're using a reliable source and try and put it into context with a very unreliable source.

There is more information available to us. Not just VGC.

Like Wikipedia. 

The game sold 152,567 physical retail copies within the first week of release in Japan,[90] ranking first place within the Japanese software sales charts for that particular week.[91] Bloodborne debuted at number two in the UK software retail chart, behind Battlefield Hardline by 22,500 units.[92] In North America, Bloodborne was the second best selling software in March, despite being released at the end of the month.[93] By April 2015, the game had sold over one million copies,[94] and as of September 2015, the game has reached over 2 million copies sold.[95] Sony stated that the game's sales exceeded their expectations.

Since you like doing math. Do it and tell me why a console only should have digital sales of 30% and more?

Well VGChartz claims Bloodborne did 1.5 million. But it apparently passed 2 million a while back with digital.

Going with that, its not crazy to believe Halo 5 could do 700K in digital numbers. But still well below the more successful Halo launches.

Bottom line, its dumb to think Halo 5 just did 1.4 million. We know digital accounts for a lot as well especially for its success with online play.

Call me a smartass but... if you're refering to the topic, than the digital number isn't 700k. It'd be near 1.4 mio. If a total of 1.4 mio retail makes half of the total sales, than the other half must be closer to 1.4 mio. than to 700.000.
