@Joe80, That # (800K - 900K) is estimated by Gamasutra, not actual # from NPD. They arrived at that # because #3, Madden NFL 09, is at 1.0 Million. While I agree that their estimate is Logical, it is also possible that the actual # is lower, like 600 - 700K.
Unless there is a game that didn't show up on Top 5, but we KNOW for sure that their # is around 700K - 750K, THEN we have high confidence that #5 is really at least around 800K.
