"The original games has gone on to sell more than 4.5 million units." What a fucking joke! It passed 7 million copies already on the original, Sony already confirmed it. Much like 10 million PS4's and once again, no adjustments. Pathetic!

A good portion of that 7 million may be digital sales. But I agree, PS3 Last of Us likely have sold much more than 4.5 million physical copies.

The site normally reports on retail sales, infact it always reports on retail sales unless it is an article regarding a publisher talking about how many sold since that would be one of the only ways of tracking psn sales. Simmer down.

Why does everything Sony related get posted with lower numbers... 7 million was confirmed, over 10 million ps4 confirmed, meanwhile Xbox One is constantly over tracked.

If you say the original has gone on to sell 7 million then why do you still have it at 4.68 million? Is the 7 million number copies sold to consumers or retailers? And you have PS4 at 9.4 million as of the 9th when Sony announced on the 12th that it's sold 10 million. So you're saying the PS4 sold 600k in 3 days? You need to fix your numbers. I usually try and defend VGC, but I don't think I can anymore.

Yo, D'Angelo.. When are you going to realize that your vgchartz SW numbers are totally screwed up? Also adjust (again) the PS4 total sales as well, they are above 10 million.

Uncharted was also heavily undertracked on VGCharttz so I don't believe this number, or any number under 1 million.

WTF? How much longer can they sustain this momentum. That's impressive. The holidays are sure looking good. I believe it can really make more than 16M by end of 2014 indeed now.

Hey, vgc, please adjust the ps4 numbers up.... to something like 80 million... so these whiney fanboys can finally shut the hell up. It's as though these numbers will change your lives.... grow up kids. "Oh, the ps4 sold 10 million units?" My life has changed.... they're off by less than 10%..... cry some more...or, go start your own tracking website, so you can finally stop whining so much...

Tombi 3, Medievil 3 and All-Stars 2 would sold better lol
Just kidding, anyway is quite obvious that this remastered version of Last of us is a great idea, even if some people aren't liking it.

My favorite game by far last gen. Also, 7 million is more than 4,5 million, so, you are correct sir... Also, great sales for the PS4 version, I guess it can get to 2-3 million, no problem, so, this amazing, unique, once in a lifetime game will finally get the sales it deserve: 10 million. Althought most of the games that get to this landmark do not deserve the honor at all...

So if Remastered sold over 1.2m then they have over 8m combined. Pretty soon this game will be outselling most of the Halo's...

That would be a fair thing, since this is light years better than any Halo. Any Halo. Any, I have said...

Any.
