So what you're saying is either a) use figures from a site which has been proven to be false on numerous occasions and have even been retroactively changed to reflect new, officially released data (or worse, the estimates of other sites/companies, such as the NPD)†, and is therefore disallowed by Wikipedias policies or b) delete all info pertaining to video game release numbers. Please read this before saying we should use VGChartz.
As for "name a better source" - any source which has reliable numbers. Just because you have no more up-to-date figures, doesn't mean we can add false info to an encyclopedia. I say false, rather than potentially false because VGChartz goes so far as to give figures to the individual sale, so the chances are so small that they are correct that they might as well be 0.
† Note that I said retroactively changed, not updated. They have been known to even put out news articles etc stating figures, then quietly change the data in the article without any note stating that they have etc. They also state their figures as facts, when they are at best amateur estimates.
Minecraft for Xbox 360 has now sold 4 million copies, please update! [Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/02/minecraft-xbox-360-edition-4-million-sold] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.112.167 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 13 October 2012
should be updated, it's sold 11 million copies as of july 2010. link. Exrain (talk) 08:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
I thought I posted this here, but since I have posted it in no less than three other places, it is easy to forget. Anyway, Halo 3 has probably sold more than 8 million copies by now, but it has not sold 14.5, or at least, no source makes that claim. Of course, people love to claim that Halo 3's own official website does say this, but it clearly does not. Let's start by reading the source closely. For ease of reference, here is the offending sentence:

I already said that the sales you have reinserted after the game minecraft are older sales and so do not match while the sales from Kinect adventures to Minecraft is an updated list. No offence but why are you inserting the old list with the updated list. Also many Xbox games have sold 3 million copies the last one being Kung Fu Panda and they are about 36 which is a lot, so there is probably no need to mention games who have sold 1 million anymore. I am not removing them because they are not sourced to statisticsbrain.com but because they are sales count from 2010 and the new list is from 2012, only a half year old.

The 13-14 million estimated sales include PS3 sales. Therefore, the entire sales figures should not be listed as being 360 sales, which is being done currently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.181.200 (talk) 17:58, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
On this site the sales are given to be more than 7 million on Xbox 360. I don't know which game lab is they are talking about in this article. Is this site reliable? It does have an entry on Wikipedia though: Boy Genius Report. KahnJohn27 (talk) 10:45, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
