Not necessarily, initial shipped is based on retailer guessing how popular a game will be. If they guess wrong, they will be left with unwanted stock, look at X360 Halo hardware SKU for an example of this problem.
@Alpha, Course shipped units are eventually sold units. Since it seems pretty obvious the market does not believe the bulk of those units shipped came from the PS3 version of the game I would have to say this stock is now undervalued. You can't have it both ways, either the PS3 stock is undervalued or the PC version is undervalued, they aren't both on target because we still have a good long time for both of these games to sell before the end of their life. I'd say this stock should be at 100-120 DKP at a minimum.
@starship, remember, that's 1.2 million units for PC and PS3 combined. Just a cautionary note to people thinking the PC stock should be going to 120 DKP.
I agree, I need more solid data to see how big (or small) the PC market in America and Germany are, if I could get sales data on like 4 games comparing their sales in Germany and America that would be very useful. On that note, does anyone know where to find any press releases or financial reports from companies detail sales in European countries?
Well pc games in the American market are still a big "?" for me, anyway. Sometime I have the feeling the German PC games market is bigger than the American one, seeing the predictions this community does.
Possible. I said based on amazon data. Nothing more, nothing less. But whats with Crysis than? Thats in amazon charts, shouldn't it be the same for it?
Of all the people that I know who have bought this game, none have considered buying it through Amazon.com, they find it impractical when they can just go down to their local store and buy a copy. I think that this game will probably end up doing around 11DKP+.
Given that just Amazon, but Amazon has the game. Crisys is holding fine in the Top 5 (better than I expected) Call of Duty is just selling and selling, but where the hell is Unreal? Neither in Europe nor US Top 5 for PC. If it got released, I would say this stock is still overvalued based on amazon data.
