Excellent news! The game deserves all the success it gets both now and in the future!
This is an odd combination to announce it. Why not just wait for the million copies sold? Anyway, great news, the game is very good. I hope this means more japanese support.
Well, to Square Enix they can report this and be happy because they've already made their money on those x amount shipped + sold digitally. So they've literally sold 1 million units and have received those funds, but not sold them all necessarily to customers.
I still don't understand why so many people gives more credit to estimated sold units versus officially announced shipped units by the game editor himself.
99,9% (0,01% in trash maybe) of the shipped units will be sold after a several delay.
It is possible to know exactly how many copies have been shipped, because Nintendo, Squarenix, SONY, etc...They know exactly how many they have provided, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to count the number of units which has reached the hands of the consumers.
