And yet Sony didn't announce this at their financials?

I was thinking more as in how they mentioned the 5.5m a couple of times in January (didn't they?), even though they prolly knew about this already at that point.

I actually think it's at 6 million sold, with 6.5-6.6mill or so shipped. Could be at 7.5-8million by year's end and 10 million by Jan 1, 2013.

It's under-tracked in EMEAA and thus under-tracked on weekly numbers.

So let's say it sells over 50k for the whole year on average (with some moments near 20k per week and 100/200k with the holiday boost, but at least over 50k per week on average): 50k*52weeks = 2.6m

2.6m sold, 3m shipped, and we have GT5 at... 9.37m, say hello to GT2.

And if it sells 40k on average, then it'll be at 8.7m approximately.

5.5 Million was the 1st shipment for the game, it was the number mentioned just afer release by them.

Even if they did know it... They didn't reveal it. Until now. And it had done 6.4 Million.

Which is what I find rather curious. Why the heck did they repeat old numbers after December?

Doesn't really matter, though.
