The same Metro Last Light that barely broke 200k sales on PS3 and Xbox360 combined yet? Don't make me laugh...

Perhaps...undertracked?

Possible, but IIRC the position in the Europe charts was just like described in the Deep Silver announcement. I'd say this announcement simply overstates the success of a successor to an absolute niche game being developed under shitty circumstances (Source: http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/15/4a-games-working-conditions/)

Are you actually saying that a company's numbers are 2nd to vgcharts??? Come on that's blatent idiocracy. Also digital numbers were most likely included and Metro is a famous franchise on the pc like the witcher series.

PC sales should be more than PS3 and 360 combined.

Aren't VGChartz numbers usually not more than 20% off? Hell, even if we assumed the numbers were 100% off the game still would be at 400k combined for PS3 and Xbox360. And yes, on VGChartz I will refer to VGChartz numbers.

That would mean first week both consoles spawned equal sales to the 360 total lifetimes Metro 2033 sales + PC sales!

well, metro 2033 didn't release for ps3. as much as i know it was a console exclusive.

sounds still undertracked.

Well, yeah, you need to be careful.
