Wait a moment... that was just PS4 sales. And only in Japan.
You need to count global PC and Xbox's too to get total sales.
Honestly it's irrelevant.
Outside Japan and pirate-markets, the game was released digitally, and those sales are hard to factor for aggregates. Plus, there's the ever obnoxious vocal majority: "No physical, no buy."
Then there's the fact that this is a port of an 8-year old game...
And finally, as for Xbox and PC sales in
Japan....
Let me put it for you this way - in its debut week, Lollipop Chainsaw sold about 60,000 units on PS3 in Japan. And that was considered an absolute failure. By a much,
much smaller company than Capcom.
Now, Lollipop Chainsaw managed to squirm out through cult status - worldwide, across all platforms, to this day it has sold 1 million copies. Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind you that DMC4 is a re-release of an 8-year old game that got fairly lukewarm reception, that
doesn't have that "hidden-gem cult status" vibe going. And it's digital outside Japan...
