the metrics they're using exclude a bunch of countries and do not collect data from major companies. it's a useless data set. and on top of that they're conflating sales with "players".

even if it HAD sold 5 million copies at full price, even if they were announcing 5 million SALES instead of players, that'd still only be 350 million dollars, from which platforms would deduct their 30% or so cuts, among other stocking and distribution fees. it's no more a financial success than fantastic four is for marvel.
