Also known as how a smart release date can make or break a game. This wouldnt even push 1m if it launched in November.

Wow, that was really bad tracking. I don't even care that we don't get regular VGC numbers anymore.

Is this is the worst software tracking vgchartz has ever done? I mean, they have the game at 1.5mil physical units sold. And i kinda doubt the game sold +3.5mil units digitally. Anybody know the reason for this massive undertaking?

Really, really impressive. Glad to see something from the horror genre doing well (aside from RE of course).

Very impressive for a new franchise this early into a console lifecycle. The FPS will never die it seems.

Clearly VGC is the almighty source for accurate numbers and we should just deny those given from actual developers.
