The Uncharted: Golden Abyss numbers is curious.

Sony said the game sold to 65% of Vita users in US... the hardware sales in US is 230k... so 140k for The Uncharted: Golden Abyss... VGC shows 93k.

There are a factor to support the 93k numbers... VGC not track digital sales... so 40k Uncharted games sold by PSN???

that was for the first day.....

Thanks... I saw the day of the announce now.

No number was reported for UK.

- Pocketgamer.biz said it sold 43k but said the 3DS sold 89k too (we know 3DS sold 113k).

- Patrick Garratt (VG247/Eurogamer) said it sold near the 3DS launch numbers (113k).

Both guys quoting the Chart-track.

And the software sales from Chart-track suppor the Patrick Garratt words... so I guess the Pocketgamer.biz is just wrong about all (PSV and 3DS numbers).

I see, they are probably trying to get hits for their site by giving low numbers. Bad news always excited more than good news.

hmmm

Seems to be some disagreement on PSV numbers across the internet. Either UK is very high or US is very low...?

Seems fine... PSV sold near 3DS first week in UK... near 113k.

And the US launch is Week 0 + Week 1: 229,858.

Both numbers support the 1.2 million sold said by Sony.

are you saying the UK is sony land after all....

No I'm saying the Chart-track shows PSV selling near 3DS at launch and to support the < 600k launch said by Sony... the Americas numbers will be less than 300k... 230k for US only support that.

My guesses numbers...

Americas: 260k
Europe: 310k

Global: 585k

Week 1 (launch): 930k

so the europe number of 310k includes UK?

even if it doesnt that is one hell of a sizeable chunk in the UK.

310k includes UK... and 3DS sold 113k in UK and 330k in Europe for launch week.

So why 95k to 310k is "one hell of a sizeable chunk"???
