Parapraxis: Forza did chart in Europe, it sold pretty ok in Japan as well. Roughly 400-500k in North America (Canada, US), 50-60 in Japan (thanks to the special edition) and the rest could have been made up in Europe.
Europe is a huge market and one that really helps with game sales, they don't get enough credit as they should for that kind of stuff. Forza 3 could have easily moved 1 million in the first month (that was the number given), you really can't lie that heavily to investors, it's called fraud.
On topic: The writer didn't even give an exact sales figure, he just assumed. The Ratchet games have never been big sellers like say Killzone 2 or God of War, that doesn't mean they sell bad, I think almost all of them have moved past 1 million unit sold.
