By the way. If ioi is right, and the first week is 2.4/2.5 Million...

AND GT6 is already in development for the PS3.

I don't think this is going to reach 10 Million.

I'd like to say 8.5 max...

Wow. I expected 3.15M opening?

I thought I said 2.5 to 3. Meh.

Anyway. 1.8 Million in 2 days of sale (1 in Japan), I'm not going to complain about that. If Sony advertised it in Europe though, maybe we could have had a whole lot more!

I dont understand this either, why havent they brought the kevin butler ads over to the EU, where the console is already very popular..

They could, but there is no indication that they will.

Sony of the PS3 era are stupid. Especially SCEE. I mean, it's not even getting advertised in the UK...

Well GT6 aint gonna be on PS3, yamauchi doubts it will be.....

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-24-kaz-not-sure-if-gt6-will-be-on-ps3

So I'd say GT5 will be the only GT game PS3 is getting besides prolog thus it will sell till the end of PS3 cycle.

I dont understand this either, why havent they brought the kevin butler ads over to the EU, where the console is already very popular..

They think KEvin Butler ads won't gel with British audiences

British people love America and American things. Some KB ads would probably go down pretty well with UK audiences, especially if they do some exclusive UK ads.

As for GT6 being on PS4. This is actually great news. Let's just hope it's early in the PS4's lifecycle, and not 4 years in...
