Is superdata accurate? If so, GoW’s numbers are even crazier than I was thinking. Greg Miller on the KFG Daily show for today quoted superdata that GoW—for April alone—did 2.1 mil sales DIGITALLY. And this DOUBLED the previous PS exclusive record holder, which was Uncharted 4. If true, that’s insane.

edit:  found the article:

It would match with 5M in April alone. The game was sold out in some places, so a high digital rate was expected. 

So, 5M in 10 days? Really impressive and well deserved.

10days (at end of april) = 5m+ sold is def. more than most anyone thought it would do.

I really like that it did well though.
Sony needed to prove that Single players arnt dead (after certain people where proclaiming them dead).

Single player games can move numbers, and push hardware sales.
it just has to be a great game.

It was in a month period (28 days).

read the guys above I quoted.
1) Its barely been 30days, and it takes time to collect sales data = this means 1month is more likely to mean just April sales.
2) SuperData says it did 2.1m+ sales digitally alone only, in april.  This fits with 5m number being for April (digital + physical).

 

Unless you have a quote by someone saying that it was 28days he ment?
Im gonna choose to believe it means April (10-11days) of sales = 5m.
