Am I reading something in the wrong light ?
It certainly seems VGChartz is wrong there.
I was suspicious that the special edition sold 2 million units as well. When does that ever happen?

It's 1.3 m (capcom) against ~4 m (vgchartz)

I meant I was certain the special edition numbers were wrong even before we saw Capcom's numbers.
I'm gonna guess the combined sales of DMC3 and DMC3 Special Edition are around 2 million units sold. I don't think Capcom is combining the sales of those two in that list.

I don't see why I'd believe VGC's numbers over capcoms, particularly when capcoms saying they sold less, and VGC's numbers also don't make sense, having a re-release matching the sales of the original.
It also could have sold more than 1.3 million from capcoms numbers. If the special edition wasn't counted, if the sales were under a million it wouldn't appear on that list.
but idk.
VGC could be wrong, but Capcom is also a bit weird about how they count SKUs on their million sellers lists. I remember looking at old financial reports before DMC4 came out, and their DMC series sales were higher than 1/2/3 combined.
As of March 31, 2007 the series was at 6.9 million. 6 years later Capcom only shows 5.16 million for 1/2/3. By next year (2008, 2 months after DMC4) it was at 9.5 million, but today 1/2/3/4 are at 7.86 million.
