Businesses don't use the calendar year when diving up their financial results, they use the fiscal year. Bandai Namco, Toei Animation and Shueshia are all Japanese companies. They use a Japan-specific fiscal year, which runs from April 1st to March 31st. Battle of Z launched in January 2014, which means it's a fiscal year 2013 product. Xenoverse is fiscal 2014, etc.

Shipments refer to the amount of units produced that were ordered by retailers. This doesn't mean the game has sold 1.5 million units to customers ... yet.

We've waited so long to get a good game that can build a series and based on that press release it looks like this is it.

That's a really impressive shipment figure, Battle of Z was said to have shipped 620,000 copies. I don't know what any of the other games shipped except for the original Budokai which shipped 3.5 million copies.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 had shipped over 2 million copies by about a year and half after release.

I would say for under a month for world wide release that's pretty damn good for having shipped 1 million copies...

1.5 mill is excellent. This is what happens with good marketing.

Wow this is really impressive! Xenoverse 2 should be a sure thing now!

Of course these shipment figures wouldn't take into account the digital versions which will go on to sell pretty well too.

No, they most likely do include digital figures.

How can you ship digital copies? There's an infinite amount of them.

In the post-digital world most publishers lump their download sales with their physical shipments. This is the industry norm. If you had more sales figures, wouldn't you want to trumpet them?

4. [PS3] Dragon Ball: Xenoverse – 71,203 (67,270 physical, 3,933 digital)
8. [PS4] Dragon Ball: Xenoverse – 54,685 (44,642 physical, 10,043 digital)

The Xbox versions would be less than 17,468.

This covers up to February 22nd so it's not the entire month.

The game continues to do so well. And I couldn't be happier.

If they approach it correctly (as in, like an AAA release) Xenoverse could be one of this console generation's top fighting franchises. Bigger budget and more dev time will be key for the sequel, they're in very good position to build it into a trully big property

Vgchartz (*ducks*) has finally put up the numbers for Europe and they have the game at selling 145k first week. Here's a link if anyone wants a look.

I wonder if they'll change the US numbers once they get around to publishing global figures.
