That's a pretty insane statistic but it doesn't surprise me because I'm sure a lot of people weren't able to get it in time for a Christmas gift.

Vanoss I'm not surprised. Both consoles should sell about 5 million units by the end of March next year.
Just think about all the money they are getting but they still keep the console at such a high price....

But I don't get how call of duty sold more than GTA V. When GTA sold more than 1 billion copies I guess it is on PS3 too but still.

400-500k dollars per minute, and that's only one site. Imagine IRL purchases as well.
