I see the link, I doubt vgchartz source. Because the only people with access to the information of how many digital orders they process is Square Enix, and anyone square enix tells. And you're not going to convince me that SE told VGchartz how many games they sold. Until someone can show me how VGchartz gets their numbers, I'm going to be apprehensive of trusting their numbers.

Retailers report to SE how many units sold, SE then reports units sold to its investors, those reports are [usually] open to the public. So, that's HOW vgchartz gets it data. If you're looking for the source data, probably going to have to ask Vgchartz where they get that.

This is probably me being stubborn but a pet peeve of mine is people just pulling numbers out of their butt just because they can and most people believe it if they say "our sources". I've always been critical of any kind of stats like this, and tend to not even trust the devs for these numbers.

Which is understandable and if you look at my previous response to the main post, VGChartz doesn't report digital sales (at least last time I researched them), only retail box copies, so the numbers in this case aren't accurate. But, the numbers they do report for box sales are fairly accurate.
