Sony needs better PR people lol.
Microsoft is getting dangerously close to "Who cares what the sales numbers are, all that matters is I'm having fun" territory.

That's what it sounds like to me too. That's some strange wording if otherwise.

Nintendo basically threw in the towel for the rest of this year aside from Pokémon.

lol, not hard to see what he is up too.
Well the two aren't mutually exclusive technically right? Worldwide, maybe Uncharted 3 sold faster than Uncharted 4.
Or maybe Sony use a different type of PR critieria than Microsoft.

They should really just join the ride of "No Comment" just now. Seems like a win/win to jump on that train.
Software killin' it.
That could also be implying that it's remarkable that UC4 sold almost as well because it didn't come out in the holiday period.
If what that sentence is supposed to convey is UC4 being the fastest selling UC game then Callahan needs to go back to PR school because he sucks at it.

Happy to see Battleborn have some success, fun game. Hope that motivates the team to keep piling up those weekly updates.
Correct, which is why I put my answer in the OP as presumably #2.

Oh wow, so edgy, such coolness, smh. I'm pretty sure this isn't the U4 review thread.

You're saying this almost as if you're surprised.

The wording makes it sound like UC4 sold less than UC3, considering the advertising budget this game must've had that does not seem too great. TLOU I remember did almost 1 million on a console that was on it's way out and it just kept on selling, once does have to wonder why ND went back to a franchise like Uncharted.
2.7 million first week sounds great but when you add in the advertising, where even your gran would have not been able to escape from a forced look at the game it's nothing special. I think Fallout 4 on PS4 alone did better and damn that must be a kick in the teeth, seeing how that piece of shit makes UC4 look like a masterpiece and that's saying something.
Yet here we are, Ratchet out the Top 10, what a travesty.
Edit - Shit wording it seems UC4 did do better than UC3, looks they they must have hired the dude that does MS spin and he's confused about what to do when the system actually wins a month

Crazy that Minecraft sold best on PS4.

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

Yeah uhhhh doom IS PC gaming.
Yeah, I'm kinda wondering how that happened considering the 360 version is the one that usually does the best, but this time it was beat by both the XBO and PS4.

Doom second place? Selling more than overwatch? Is this a fake list?
Well at least that is clarified. Now SnowFlakeCake is going to be disappointed

If the hardware rumoured numbers are true not so much. I'd say most minecraft sales now come from new console sales. I mean, everyone with a console must already have it.

I will guess something between 800k-900k.
