Funny seeing some people saying those are very great numbers when months back they were basically expecting the double of it, and made several threads to say the numbers we had were a lot lower than reality... how quick are we to forget. Don't remember anyone of those guys saying 5M would be a success (and that is shipped, with no clear way to define the total sales number).

Oh come one. Did anyone expect it to sell 10m already? That's just crazy. Any links to posts that such claims were made?

Are you going to pretend you didn't see a lot of guys that are here defending how good the game did and before didn't put it close to 10M expectation?

Lol, based on what? Since when did publishers stop including digital in their shiped numbers?

Since forever?

Sorry but we aren't allowed by forum rules to bring and name what happened in other threads. We can at most say what happened, so I won't bite.

You don't need to bite anything, I'm fishing tomorrow not today. I didn't see anyone saying 10 million copies sold here, i wish you could back this upt with a thread link so your claim wouldn't be more than an anecdote.

There's a massive difference between people saying that the game was doing well and expecting 10m in a few months. I seriously doubt a serious member ever made such a claim.

As long as this long list of people youre referring to have already posted in this thread, youre fine to mention them by name. Otherwise youre just trolling, spreading BS without backing it up.

Here there were just one person saying over 10M (12M actually). What I'm saying is that like a year+ ago there were multiple users saying the game would sell 10M and now are saying 5M is fantastic. And with our great search system you know giving a precise link wouldn't be feasible. If you want to dismiss and say 10M or on the vicinity wasn't a common expectation for a great number of users them ok you can.

You can doubt all you want, but if you want to go back to the threads like the UC4  vs H5 you would see several instances of people expecting UC4 to not cross 8M and H5 to cross 10M.

Weren't these people all talking about LT sales?  Still way too early to judge LT sales for either game, especially UC4.

Why does the title say in 7 months? those numbers were in 3 months. Not 7.
