...Don't want to be that guy, but the title is a bit misleading. It says "sold", even though in the body of the article it says "shipped".

I think it may really be "sold," though, since Konami stated that it included digital downloads. You can't exactly just "ship" X amount of digital downloads.

Technically for Konami's purposes it's pretty much 'sold' as in 'sold-to-retailers' so retailer demand is real because of course the product is selling to consumers. So Konami's got their cut already.

But yeah, the likely count PC sales to consumer in that too.

So did they end in plus? I remember reading that TPP cost them $80M, not including marketing costs (with some people saying it's total $300M).
