Oops, you're right. In my haste, I really did link to a parody piece. Very embarassing for me.
I was trying to illustrate the point that Bioshock Infinite's early sales were disappointing. Early projections had 2K selling 3 million copies in the first month:

But it actually sold less than a million:

and only hit 3.7 million after 3 months.
HOWEVER... Don't cry a river for 2K. Bioshock Infinite eventually sold 11 million copies, becoming the biggest Bioshock game:
