3,401,733m to be exact, but yeah, not quite 4mill.

It sold 400k first week on PC, so add the ~300k digital sales of that version and we get a lot closer to the 4 million number. Can digital sales of the other 4 version plus possible tracking errors on vgchartz' side make up for the last 300k? I very much believe so.

Yeah and there's no way they'd only ship 4m on sales of 3.7 or 3.8m lol

Especially since Ubisoft announced that they shipped 8 million copies of the game for the quarter, the game in no way sold well enough in June to warrant shipping another 4 million after the initial shipment.

Ie: you = claiming Sony are Inflating the number's? to make it look better on the books than it really is?

LMAO

Based off the info they have given us yeah. Its not on the books(illegal), its probably them rounding up to a nice sounding number. It is unlikely based on what Sony reported. Its not like they wont be there by the end of the month. There is a link someone just posted about how it is an estimation. GIve it a rest, it will be there soon.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Someone needs to read the NPD report, asap. And maybe drop the salt down.

Estimation because it's IMPOSSIBLE to track sales 100% to consumers. Now, estimation does not mean they round UP to "over 10 million" from something like 9.3m lol.

Their exact press release placed it at over 10mil. It is far more likely that they estimated DOWN to get to the 10mil figure as any kind of falsehood in claiming something as controversial as sales numbers (especially something that would be scrutinized by the public/media/competitors) will be a huge embarassment for the company. Logic dictates that they would be estimating on the side of safety. So no, it's highly doubtful they were rounding up here, more likely rounding down. Definitely NOT rounding up in the 100Ks. Where the heck are you basing your theory from?

lol.. amazeballs. 2 days and nothing's changed on the front page chart!

Again, we have NPD in an hour, which will probably bring new things to light that will have to be changed, so ioi is probably waiting for that so he can make the adjustments in one go, also it's probably not so easy to find out where to actually put those ~550k (remember we're a week behind) units.

I know you want to see the 10 million numbers on the frontpage, we all do, but you need to chill, the adjustment will happen.

I know that.. But was just thinking.. Whatever changes to his metrics that he must do can still be done behind the scenes.. Just for the ltd hw sales.. It looks sad to know that 10 mil was announced by Sony, but VGC's front page is still @ 9.3.  Just saying..for a site that prides in tracking.. It makes VGC look lagging.



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..
