Deus Ex: Human Revolution shipped 2.18 million in its first ~2.5 months, with 800,000 coming from North America, and 1.38 million coming from Europe according to Square Enix's old financial report: http://www.gamesradar.com/deus-ex-human-revolution-tops-square-enix-sales-218m-copies-moved/
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is reported to need to sell 3 million copies to break even. However, given the $70 million Canadian budget, they probably mean 3 million full price copies: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1272853
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's sales on Steam so far are 292,548 ± 14,091: http://steamspy.com/app/337000
Deus Ex: Human Revolution did eventually move ~3,586,377 on Steam between the base edition and the Director's Cut, but that was after much bundling and lots and lots of very cheap sales:

Ouch! Really bad news for Deus Ex: Mankind Division, the game performed well below our upper bound extrapolation.
According to MCV, No Man's Sky outperformed its nearest rival by 100,000 units, by the way, note that the second best-selling game of the month wasn't even Deus Ex: Mankind Division but F1 2016. This means that at best, Deus Ex: Mankind Division sold 38,000 units during its first week.
[Week 32, 2016] 01 (NE) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) < 116,000
[Week 33, 2016] 02 (01) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) < 22,000 / 138,000 (-81%)
Code:[B]August 2016[/B] 1. No Man's Sky < 138,000 2. F1 2016 < 38,000 3. Deus Ex: Mankind Division
116,000 was the upper bound for No Man's Sky debut based on Uncharted 3, but since there is no way F1 2016 or Deus Ex: Mankind Division sold way less than 38,000 units (I roughly had F1 2016 at 40,000 for its first 2 weeks) I will go with 115,000 for No Man's Sky launch week, it has to be very close to the upper limit.
Code:[Week 32, 2016] 01 (NE) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) ~ 115,000 [Week 33, 2016] 02 (01) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) ~ 21,900 / 136,900 (-81%) [Week 34, 2016] 03 (02) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) ~ 11,400 / 148,300 (-48%) [Week 35, 2016] 07 (03) NO MAN'S SKY (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) ~ 7,300 / 155,600 (-36%)
After 2 weeks:
Deus Ex: Mankind Division ~ 50,000
Deus Ex: Human Revolution ~ 150,000
