Shipped VS Sold.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

The game is available online too you know.... any download figures are not included here.

The figures on the pd website will be how many were shipped added to how many have been downloaded.... as Naum said, Shipped doesn't equal sold (though it won't be that far off this long after release) but downloads also don't count towards VGC figures.



relax, its probably sold more than 6 million by now including d/l

As I said, the figures quoted by the developer will include downloads..... I believe early figures for downloads pegged it at about 5-10% of those that bought it at retail. That is likely higher now as downloads generally provide more steady sales (sales with "legs" if you like) but it probably won't be more than 15-20%

3.7 million divided by 5, times 4 = 2.96 million.... so that fits nicely actually.

about 3 million retail shipments... and 700k downloads.

Does it really matter if GT5:P if it was adjusted down? It's still in the 3M vicinity for physical BD copies, which is a great number considering the fact that it was not a full game.



Current PC Build

CPU - i7 8700K 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz turbo) 6 cores OC'd to 5.2 GHz with Watercooling (Hydro Series H110i) | MB - Gigabyte Z370 HD3P ATX | Gigabyte GTX 1080ti Gaming OC BLACK 11G (1657 MHz Boost Core / 11010 MHz Memory) | RAM - Corsair DIMM 32GB DDR4, 2400 MHz | PSU - Corsair CX650M (80+ Bronze) 650W | Audio - Asus Essence STX II 7.1 | Monitor - Samsung U28E590D 4K UHD, Freesync, 1 ms, 60 Hz, 28"

the only number that counts is the 3.7 one. That is how many sony got money for.



People talking about DD - I doubt this game has gotten 25% of total sales that way.



Mehh vgs numbers should be taken with skepticism at best.

They always change numers secretly with out any reasoning.



Just woundered why it went down it seems like if nothing else it should have stayed the same or gone up with it now at a greatest hits and target sold it for less than 10 for awhile.
