They're saying 17.8 million sales just on Steam alone out of the 18 million? That can't be right. I know the PS5 version didn't sell anywhere near as much, but I was figuring at least a few million copies were sold on PS5. |
VG Insights is similar to other sites that try and track sales via public data. They're just estimates and are often very wrong. Starfield for example they had grossing $235 million last year, the image below used their data, but later they adjusted it down and if you look on their site now they have it at $220 million despite it having another 8 months of sales on top.
Basically never trust the data from sites like this to be accurate. Palworld is another example where the frequent updates from the developers saying how much they sold showed how bad these sites were. They're not a completely useless source, better than nothing, but there is a wide margin of error.
It's not just PS5 sales missing either, wegame is a big gaming platform in China that has Black Myth Wukong. So if total sales are 18m there's no way steam sales are 17.8m. It's also for sale on the Epic Games Store.
