Like i said, thats not always the case. If it were 7/8mil i agree with you but an extra mil doesnt guartee its sold through 5mil especially when that month is the holiday month (and includes digital). I do think 4mil has been sold but 5mil (still possible) isnt a lock. Youll see a better pictuee of this come npd |
Nah retailers wouldn't order another batch of discs if the initial shipment wasn't close to selling out. Extra orders were made to keep enough stock. If retailers still had 1M copies of the initial batch on shelves they wouldn't order another 1M discs. And yeah it's the holiday, people buy more games, FFXV is also a new game, 2 reasons why it sold thru the initial batch.

This is just spinning numbers so we won't notice the company is very very disappointed with the sales and heads will roll. |
Yeah its the normal way of communicating numbers. In fact all retail numbers you ever saw in your life are reported as shipped since they can't control every retailer in the world and see how much is sold in every store. Digital is easy, just check PSN total.
It's shocking you were ignorant about that fact seeing how long you're on this site.
We'll see in their financial report whether they're disappointed.
