For reference Brotherhood in VGC:

Brotherhood (PS3): 3.06m
Brotherhood (360) 3.42m

Brotherhood: 6.48m

Overtracked?

Bloodlines (PSP): 0.97m

Overtracked.

WTF at PC Brotherhood for Q4.............

Those figures (the 360/PS3 Brotherhood ones at least) are current sales figures.

To the end of December:

Xbox 360 AC Brotherhood 3,095,078
PS3 AC Brotherhood 2,784,740

Seems ok then... but PSP Bloodilines was way overtracked.

Which would suggest there was around 500K copies lying on shelves ww.

Could still be overtracked by 500K or something like that. I doubt AC Brotherhood was so hot that it had only 500k lying on shelves right after the massive x-mas season. But who knows.

Ubisoft is doing PC gamers a service by releasing it on PC at all...

I always pirate my Ubisoft games. So I'm happy, and very excited for Brotherhood.

I havent got it yet, because i heard the main game dosent go much further past AC2, it just seemed like milking to me. i mean since Ubisoft was in the red financially so it seemed to me to be more of a financial move rather than for the fans tbh.

Edit: i'm not trolling, i just think that they shouldve left it another year before releasing another AC game, i think its too much when you release a main installment in 2 subsequent years, which may 3 years if AC3 is released this year.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it isn't or is overtracked, I was just trying to correct an error (because if it had been 6.48 million sold on VGC when shipments were only at 6.5, that would be overtracking). I'm not what sort of numbers we should expect to be sitting on shelves when it comes to games. I know it's generally around the 1.5 million mark for consoles (plus or minus 0.5 million), except during shortages or overshipping, but games seem to be too variable (based on popularity, previous franchise history, 1st shipment size etc etc)

Edit: It seems though that Just Dance/Just Dance 2/Michael Jackson: The Experience et al are overtracked (not neccesarily each game, but overall), seeing as end of 2010 sales for JD2 was 4.87 million, MJ sales were 1.73 million, and Just Dance sales were ~5 million. That doesn't include Kids and Dance on Broadway, not sure of their popularity, but it already comes to over the 10.5 million figure given (not too clear if that is shipped or sold, as AC Brotherhood says shipped while the section on these games says sold), at over 11.5 million copies.

Regardless, it's a great game. AC fans should pick it up ASAP.
