    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.
