Forums - Sales - Embarrassing sales tracking mistake

According to VGChartz, Dragon Age on PS3 has sold 62,017 copies in Others last week. However, the game isn't released in a single country except for the Americas yet.

This does indicate that there is some truth in the statement that VGChartz guesstimates some sales.

I'm not trying to start a fight, just pointing out that things like this need improving if we want that people take this site seriously.

at least we know how it would have sold if it had released lol



This happened once before, with some Guitar Hero game I think. A similar thread was created, but it was later confirmed that the game had been launched early in some countries, and the data was extrapolated from that (so the thread creator ended up with egg on his/her face).

I could link you to many websites/shops that have it for the 20th.

 

Now it could have released earlier, but it doesn't make the numbers more reliable.

Well, 62k in Others is not a leak from a store or two but a full blown release since the 360 version had 70 k with an official launch. Numbers like this would make it into the top ten for some European countries, like when Halo ODST was leaked in Germany a week early and made the list at #5 before the official launch day.
