I'll pick it up sooner or later.
VGChartz needs to re-adjust their numbers digital or not. This is a pretty big deal and will most likely be the best selling game this year, probably outselling Blops2 (on a single platform 360 at least) in the long run
It's just that simple.

Agreed. 8 million people are not accouted for? That isn't right, they would be alot of digital buys, but not all of them. I'm calling it, seriously under-tracked. I would expect atleast a third to be hard copy buys.

That and not being able to add games to my collection is getting a bit annoying. Sigh.
It's just that simple.
I can understand why VGC hasn't included digital sales, and that's cause they really can't update it weekly. Absolutely no way of knowing what the digital sale numbers are! That said, it would be nice to have Digital sales on the side updated with every release statement

That's a different debate :P I honestly couldn't care less for Diablo.. I'm just defending ioi! ^_^

You can add games. Go to profile -> Games and then type in the game in the "add game" search box. I add games every week

Through July, more than 10 million players have entered the world of Sanctuary" Over 10 million in 3 months?! That's insane. I wonder if the fact you can potentially make real-world cash out of the game played a part? It's by no means a perfect game, but I look forward to Blizzards next batch of updates. |
I don't think over 10million players means 10million copies sold. That could easily mean 10million player characters or include beta players, multiple players for cafe copies, etc. Either way its sad that even with pc gamers, its the mediocre games that get the ridiculous sales. Diablo 3 was a very very disappointing game.

Not for some recent games you can't. Try searching Diablo III (aka 3). Nexuiz and a few other recent game I've been trying to add. I think they cut off at a certain date as they were looking into hiring someone for the game database.
It's just that simple.

why not? its a blizzard game that requires you to be online no matter what, and you are forced into their online storefront. why wouldn't most people buy it online.
