Today, Capcom announced that since its release in the US and Europe earlier this month and in Japan in January, Devil May Cry 4 has sold over 2 million units worldwide.
DMC4's rapid success makes the game the fastest-selling installment in the seven-year-old series. It also accounts for just under a quarter of the entire franchise's total of 9 million units in sales, according to Capcom.

I'm inclined to guess Europe a bit higher as it charted well in the UK. Lost Planet was a big success with the early release over here and the £10 price difference from most other releases (on the 360 version) will have given it a boost.
I'm inclined to agree with you on the PS3/360 split as well, I'm short on the PS3 future. I don't think it'll break 300k[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids

Sorry your right, 62 vs 38%. Thats why I did it a little higher in the US, since the UK support the PS3 a little better.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

That would be 62 vs 38% no? (since the PC version isn't launched yet)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids

in the uk the 360 version was 62% the PS3 version was 26% as far as I remember. Thats one why. The install base, is another why. The 360 has a far greater install base in the US than the PS3. No way the software sales on a multi platform game are the same.
In the past, the PS3 had around 1/3 of the 360 version on different games. That means on "normal" games, the PS3 version gets around 25% of the sales. So I already did go higher on the PS3 share.
I personal can't believe they are so head to head in the states. Europe, yes, U.S. no.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

Why not have the same % between 360 and PS3, since this series was originally an exclusive on PS brand platform, and this is the first time it show up on non-PS3 platform ?
And why such a big disrepancy between 360 and PS3 ? Even if you wanted to put 360 at higher #, using 60:40 or 55:45 is much more reasonable. What game you use as benchmark to arrive at that figure ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

2 Million copies shipped world wide.
Who cares to figure out with me, what numbers the game will pull in the U.S. then?
1.8 Million should be sold until end of the month I guess. How much in the U.S? about 1 Million? Or do we have guess Europe higher? (Japan about 350k as far as I know). Splitting that between 360 and PS3 (50% of 360) 666k for the 360 and 333k for the PS3?[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids
