The numbers are in! And DKIII was a hit! According to ICv2, it sold 440,234 copies; I've seen the "half a million copies" number floating around, when you add in the deluxe edition I'm sure its up to that. Throw in the $5.99 price tag and you have a nice $2.637 million at retail added to booksellers coffers. (The actual number is less but you get the idea.)

Well, the surprises keep coming!
