Why are people on this website even considering that it sold 3.8 million on the first day?

3.8m first day? No way.

But over 1.5m first week is more reasonable than the 1.2 million tracked by VGC.

1.2 Million is very reasonable, but so is over 1.5 millon.

As I said, and you didn't botter to tell me how you back it up, how could this title sell 1 million in EMEAA FW, I just fail to see than even in a world were PS3 dominates the universe.

I believe its sold 1.4m WW, 650k in NA and 650k in EMEEA. And other thing is the shipped figure is on Day 1.

Yeah, and that is actually fairly rational, I was poiting at Ethomas's prediction of 1 Million in EMEAA for U3.

For me 300k to 500k  undertracked... most in EMEAA.

So 1.5m to 1.5m first week.

600-650k Americas
775-925k EMEAA
125k Japan

I just fail to see how the increase from U2 to U3 is 250%.

There is no way it sold that much, if it is indeed undertracked, I say we look at America's numbers, those do seem tad undertracked, but expecting anythiing above 750k for EMEAA is just a wish.

[UPDATE:] Sony confirmed to Gamasutra that the figure given is shipped, rather than sold.

==================

seems like Sony have civil war right now


you already posted this, you must really want people to see this. lol

anyway im confused, ign said sony confirmed its sold to consumers, then have no quote proving it.

then gamasutra said Sony confirmed its shipped to retailers, and they have no quote backing it up.

which one should i believe?!

don't know,NPD?GFK?or you can use something like Amazon ranking right now

gamespot.com also says sold.

my heart is telling me to believe one thing while my mind another. lol

im hoping the real sales (vgchartz) are really closer to 1.5 million than 1.2

IGN has updated there page after talking to SONY and they can confirm that 3.8 million copies were sold to customers not shipped to retailers

One small problem...they don't have a source.

More funny N4G comments:
"PS3 exclusive doesn't sell argument has been shut down, lets see what 360 fanboys will come up next.

funny thing that Uncharted 3 1 day sales topped anything can 360 offer and that without 500m ad campaigns.

ok tables have turned now, all 360 exclusives flopped because they didn't do 3.8 m day one /s"
_____
"Haha I bet the people saying it was only shipped and not sold feels really stupid now.....anyway its worth every penny..the game is amazing..hope it sells 10 mill" - We sure do, PS3_HAS_GAMES, we sure do...
___________
"if this is true, this just shows how pathetic vgchartz is"
___________
"@fluffydelusions - You really are delusional! So you're saying nearly 3 million of the shipped games are just sitting at retailers warehouses or something? Get real, retailers don't order millions that they don't expect to sell." - They expect to sell them, but not all in the first week *facepalm*
_____________
And now for the best comment of the day:
"Assuming that MW3's 9.3 million sold was a combination of PS3/PC/360, UC3 actually averaged a greater day 1 sales per platform."

My god some people are pathetic.

Well... we almost agree in my minimum case 775k EMEAA.
