lol @ fail posts on this thread.

Hmm.... I think that was the point.  People have decided to declare games that have been out a few weeks bombs, so I decided to take the logic even further.  Also, look at how people hold on the words of Pachter like they are the final truth, on what he says before it happens, I figured it would make sense.

And, besides the pain of having to read what I write, it looks like I am in the realm of added pain of having to explain why I wrote what I did, so people have to read what I write, on the same subject, a SECOND time.

NOPE.  That has post-presales numbers.  Gran Turismo 5 hasn't had any.

Apparently if I go TOO over the top, people find it corny, so I had tried to have a bit of an edge to this.  Like, consider my DOMED thread.  I am told that isn't funny, and didn't work either.  Anyhow, I guess this thread did work, because some who grasp the meta-level are getting a kick out of it.

i agree completely. It is such a hassleto read an op before posting.

I never make predictions. Ever. This is the first.

GT5 will have ODST numbers opening week and falter just as quickly (not including later bundles).

Day late, dollar short. That ship has sailed.

I dont thinnk i have read such a pointless thread.

You make out the game is late yet im still yet to find an official release date...

These sarcastic/supposedly funny threads aren't funny anymore.

I agree, a game that is outsold by its demo? Hitting a new low for Sony.

It got a jap release date of march 2010, but was then delayed.  But it never had a date set for the rest of the world.  The game has been in development for i think 4-5 years, but PD have been doing Tourist trophy, GTPSP and GT5:P in the mean time.  While 5 years is a long time it is not uncommon for BIG BIG games to take this long.  PD have stated that the original GT took 5 years to make.  Also alan wake is reported to have taken 5 years to make.

All in all the bashing is from xbox fanboys who are just attacking sony's flagship title and little more.
