“I am thrilled that so many users have been enjoying KILLZONE SHADOW FALL since the launch of PS4,” said Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS). “This title fully embraces the creativity of the development team at Guerrilla Games*2 based in the Netherlands, and is a perfect representation of what SCE WWS has to offer.

BTW sell-in = shipped

No spin in the text this time

Well that shouldn't a be suprise to anyone since its bundled with a ps4 and theres no other game to get apart from knack lol in terms of exclusives

actually it's probably both.

Shipped + DL sales.

Since those are the numbers Sony cares about/would report.

You'd think Flaming Weazel would sorta get this though since Ioi just explained this to him, like not even a week ago.

Nah.

DLC is supposed to 1/4th to 1/3rd what physical sales are right?

So you figure 1.23 sellthrough

+ DL sales

= 1.64 million sold to consumers.

Leaves about 400K on the shelves.

That sounds about right if not a little short for remaining stock.

Welp, straight from the horses mouth. And not "there is confusion with the reporting, but we did sell 2.1M". Nope, straight up saying that it's shipped

I highly doubt digital makes up for that much, especially for a game like Killzone.  I'd say digital may account for 100K or so.  But, there's no way it accounts for over half a million in sales.

Awesome numbers. It seems we've undertracked it on here. The best looking 8th gen game selling the most so far is almost poetic :D

? That conversation with ioi has zero to do with the difference between shipped versus sold but rather Aaron greenbergs vague explanation when he was specifically asked what the difference was. I am well aware of what it means. Not sure why there is so much confusion over that thread.
