What I'm trying to say is that the 360 is the dominant console in the UK, and so the PS3's UK market is not as significant in terms of its whole European numbers. I don't know about relative attach ratios, but the UK represents under 20% of EMEAA for the PS3 and over 30% of 360 Saying the UK is the PS3's weakest country is not quite the right choice of words, but it is when just considering the battle against the Xbox |
I'd say its quite irrelevant who the dominant console is in any territory as the game is exclusive to one console.
265k copies of gt5/ 3,492,218 ps3 = 0.0759 fw attach rate (7.59%)
0.0759 * 19,597,967 =1,487485 copies of GT5 based on exact same attach rate for all of EMEAA.
The only question we need to ask is what is whether the UK first week attach rate for GT5 will be above or below the average for EMEAA.

Top Gear doesn't count? :P
Wait, is this good then? I honestly have no clue as to what this means for the EMEAA sales, isn't UK like a 5th of the EMEAA? Sales wise yeah it's kinda great I guess, but still behind the mammoths of this generation.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
to be honest i thought it would have sold more, still good numbers tho
This is pretty much what I expected for it in the UK. The UK is roughly half the size of Japan for "universal" hits that work in every market, and GT5 did 530,000 or so in Japan week one. Real question is Americas.

Someone else said it did 350K in Japan (this seems like a high prediction as well).
Sooo the general census is then that UK is a weak market for GT games based on what people are saying here.
So my question is simple. If UK did 265k first week. What did the other European countries do?
And is there any proof of the numbers of are we going on what one person "estimates"?

Just in case you havn't cottoned on (seem like a bright fellow, sure you have) GT to userbase is what they mean by weakest, so I don't think these figures give us any indication of how it did elsewhere.
