Actually that figure is probably grossly inaccurate. The article was published in June, but probably written in April, only a few weeks after release. Those of us who were around then remember the first pressing sold out very quickly and there was a 2-3 week gap while UbiSoft restocked their distribution channels. It was probably during this period that the article was written. Hell, even the UbiSoft store sold out virtually overnight.

As well it only accounts for US sales.

Given that UbiSoft is underway with Silent Hunter 4 it is safe to assume that sales for Silent Hunter 3 were well in excess of that number.

But to the question at hand, DW sales figures are probably confidential, but it is safe to assume that "NEVER ENOUGH" is pretty accurate!
