Please note: Sold to retailers! Same thing funcom said when they sold over a million copies ^^
Dont be fooled!
Who are they trying to fool? they say 1.5 million sold TO RETAILERS. They didn't say sold to customer etc. If they say retailers and you're fooled into thinking they said players then how many copies of a game a company sells is the LEAST of your problems.
As far as I know "sold for retailers" is not = money.
Reatailers have at least 30 days of payment period. So if they ORDER 1 million copies, they don't buy it immediately. They "buy" it on commission. Practically they pay only for sold (to consumers) units. The news really mean: They distributed 1.5 million copies. They didn't sold them yet. It's just a PR stunt to use the word "sold".
I don't think it's a "PR stunt". They haven't used any PR Stunts thus far and have been upfront, honest and actually have been listening to their customer base. So maybe they should have said shipped or distributed instead of sold but I don't see it as being a stunt. Now if they just said "1.5 million sold"..and left off the "to retailers" part, then maybe a PR stunt.
It also says """"Over the course of our beta, over a million gamers throughout the world sent a clear signal to us - they want WAR, and we are more than happy to oblige them,” said Mark Jacobs"""""
I think that's a hint of how many pre-orders were sold.
Seems to me they were talking about a personal sales record within the EA company......how many boxes went out to retailers from ONE game. Nothing more nothing less. This is a definite case of reading comprehension.
Ok putting aside all that....Congrats EA and Mythic...hope more good happens for you, personally am enjoying the headstart, although ..ended up having to change servers two mornings ago, an hour queue wait...AFTER I created my characters. Server I picked was too popular rofl.
No matter. Have to say though...took me 15 minutes to create 3 characters, and in that time the server filled up to bursting.
I like that message better..........proof in the pudding.

Please get some math in your life. This game cannot contend with WOW and I hate WOW, but I can count so I'm forced to call it.
