VGChartz says about 5.5 million sold on PS3 when they announced 7 million sold in July last year before the remaster came out, so that is incredibly out. The ps4 version is at about 2.9 million which seems closer to something accurate but i don't get why. Is it not tracking digital properly, certain territories being hard to gauge?

I am assuming it's cause there isn't enough manpower in vgc to adjust every single game and vgc doesn't track digital but idk

Not only.

Zelda S.S have sold confirmed 3,420,000 first month, VGChartz said 2,800,000... and as for now, the game is at 3,800,000... it is probabily at 5/6 million!

 

OT: I want say 10,500,000, but is Strange that Sony have not annunced +10M sold... so, i'm go with +9,500,000.



Well in the case of the 7m TLoU PS3 figure, it was shipped + digital. We don't know how much it sold-through those 1st year shipments and how much it sold digitally, it's obviously undertracked but probably not to by too much.

And I bet Sony would've announced TLoU passing the 10m mark.

God of War III is so fucking out it's ridiculous. In May 2012 Sony announced its sell-in figures were at 5.2m, about 2 years and 2 months after the game released so the difference between shipped & sold would've been insignificant. It was also never released digitally.

Almost 3 years later and the release of the GoW Saga & Omega (not even tracked) collections, Vgchartz currently has all SKUs of the game combined at just 5.58m... Most undertracked game on a single platform, should be 6.5-7m.

Wow, i didn't know it was shipped!

In this case yeah, i don't think is above 10,000,000, just because Sony will probabily annunced this...
