BioShock Infinite has sold over 4 million units, according to publisher Take-Two Interactive.

Take-Two's chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick noted during a financial call today that "BioShock Infinite is North America's best-selling multiplatform release so far this year, according to NPD.

i'd say undertracked by around 1 million.

well, there is also digital. steam alone should have some nice sales numbers.

when a game like fez sold more than 100k in one day at steam summer sale and was not even on the top place and only few hours in the top 5 i can see games like this with awesome numbers.

Personally, I think the game was terrible. Sad that such rubbish games sell so well just because of their name and media bull giving them high scores, while less recognised but better games go unnoticed and under appreciated.

It was THAT terrible? I think the game was really awesome and I personally dislike FPS! What did you find bad about the game?

so this means steam and digital sales have to be 'bananers' right? Or this is insanely undertracked.

While I found the gameplay awkward (my fault, cannot handle first person games) the story was strong and really felt well constructed and surprised me a bit. Blew my mind when you jumped around and got a glimpse of Rapture and 1984 and all.
