3 Years ago GRAN TURISMO 5 finally released after years of anticipation by the gaming community.
A sales prediction thread was made on VgChartz & now as we near GT6's launch we can actually see how we got on!

First of all APOLOGIES for the terrible quality of the images...they weren't that bad in 2010, I don't think. I hope witnesses can attest to that :P (psst Boutros I can count on your, right?)
WEEK 1 PREDICTIONS:
Ultimately GT5 sold 2.39 Million week 1
As a community we "overtracked" it by a mere 170K...that is within a 10% margin of error.
So...WELL DONE VGCHARTZ...you win THIS
Special congratulations are in order to the following users (Top 3 predictions):
1. Gilgamesh, Flagstaad, OkeyDokey, {dude who's name I can't see due to the bad picture quality} - 2.4 Million
2. HexenLord - 2.42 Million
3. Kopstudent (2.43 Million), zgamer5 {Now known as areason} (2.35 Million)
LTD PRedictions
So GT5 is now at 10..61 Million & undoubtedly it will keep on selling.
As a community we predicted 9.34 Million which whas already fallen short by over a million, so yeah GT5 pretty much drove right over our prediction!! So this is our prize!
So I'll make this easy and just list the users left in the running for closest to the final LTD (which we may not know for a year or more yet!)
17 posters are still in the running:
HexenLord - 10.7 Million
Ultraslick - 10.8 Million
VXIII - 11 Million
Carl2291 - 11.1 Million
snfr, irtz - 11.2 Million
Attoyou - 11.5 Million
chapset - 11.8 Million
BHR-3 - 11.9 Million
Jneul - 12 Million
PostOfficeBuddy - 12.1 Million
M.U.G.E.N, Soild_Snake4RD, AnthonyW86 - 12.2 Million
VetteDude - 12.4 Million
extremeloco - 12.6 Million
Vetteman94 - 12.8 Million
**Interesting tidbit** -- Only ONE of the best 1st week predictors is still in contending (HexenLord)...and unfortunately he'll be eliminated soon as there's no way GT5 aint getting past 10.7 Million!!
