You need to be more specific. I asked you how many millions. All you provided was a milestone that was met at the end of last year, but what is the number now and how do you know? Why do you think VGChartz is an appropriate source when NPD threads have shown that it does not track software accurately? What makes you assume that the game is doing okay digitally? Actually, why are you making assumptions in the first place?

The bolded is also a strawman fallacy as well as shifting the burden of proof to the skeptic. The burden of proof lies on the person making the positive claim and so far, you have not fulfilled that criteria.

Given the information available to us and my assumptions based on trends, I think RotTR is nearing 3 million. I could absolutely be wrong though. The only real information we were given by MS is its well over a million on consoles.

So its my assumption based on information and trends, while you just feel the information available to us is bad and I shouldn't make assumptions. Nowhere for us to go. Nice chatting with ya!

Based on what kind of information and trends? Specificity, Puggs. Specificity.

Furthermore, the bolded is yet another strawman fallacy. Expressing skepticism =/= Feeling the available information is bad. However, even if I bit on the fallacy, I don't need to "feel" that the information available is bad when the NPD threads explicitly show that VGC's software numbers aren't reliable. That is a conclusion based on empirical data, which is rather indistputable.

I'm happy to be proven wrong. However, you have not provided sufficient evidence and it makes things worse when you were given several opportunities to step up to the plate.
