Yes they were... I don't know why thrashedarmsister and others are thinking about 3 months shipment sales.

First, I fixed that for you. Secondly, they are harping on 3 months timeline because otherwise, who cares? This is what you posted first:

Funny seeing some people saying those are very great numbers when months back they were basically expecting the double of it, and made several threads to say the numbers we had were a lot lower than reality... how quick are we to forget. Don't remember anyone of those guys saying 5M would be a success (and that is shipped, with no clear way to define the total sales number).

The only way to logically read this is that you saw some people in this thread saying these numbers are a success when in earlier threads they expected more in the same timeframe. Now that you've been called out for evidence, your proof basically amounts to other people saying what they expected lifetime. You linked 9 posts, only one of which was from someone who also posted in this thread, and he never said these sales are great.

So basically because some other people in another thread expected over 10 million lifetime, completely different posters in another thread cannot possibly think 5 million sales in 3 months is good. Gotcha. I mean, in that same thread one person predicted 27+ million sales for Uncharted 4. I guess I can go into any thread about Uncharted 4 sales and say it's funny that anyone is impressed by the sales until they cross 27 million?

They're talking about lifetime sales. This is 5 million after 3 months. Your post made no sense and was just trolling.

So you saying H5 will sell 10M LT? Because 5M shipment+digital after 3 months and no certainty of how much overshipped it was isn't usually leading to 10M LT.
