I really doubt it. It sold fairly low on November NPD iirc. Let me check.

Actually this number is fairly believable and makes sense given how November and December sales were fairly similar. 

Wedbush Securities release these numbers to their clients so whilst they are estimates it's not something they just release for no reason, they do have to have some degree of certainty before disclosing their estimates. 

Not to mention that Pacific Crest Securities, another investment firm, believe the game may have already achieved it's cumulative sell in goal of 13 million (or not be far away) a good 3 months early. 

Just because there is 'Pachter' in the title doesn't mean it's not true. 

Oh I just read the "6 million in November" and remembered the NPD not being anywhere near that, that's why I had doubts. Giving it more thought and checking the NPD thread, it sounds possible, but it still bugs me that EA didn't at least mention "10 million active players in less than 2 months" or something like that.
