There has been some dramatic "undertracking" regarding the ps3 ? its Software is no where to be seen ? and EMEA has been undertracked for sure ! dosent make sense at all !



GET OVER IT. It did good sales and if anything is being overtracked. The change they made in EMEAA is over compensated.

Funny how many of you are calling FOUL. JoKES on you

Oh dear. GT5 fell short of 2 million WW :/ and this internet hate campaign that's in full swing right now won't do it's legs any favors.

Maybe not; it's doing wonders for CoDBO!

So many amazing things here I can't even recount all of them so I'll highlight a few.

1) The Wii's comeback ... wow.  Seriously, its time everyone just shut up about the console and simply recognize that it owns the holiday season.

2) The 360, 5 years after launch, has its biggest Black Friday week ever and almost sold as much as the Wii.  Kinect sells MORE than the 360.  Is it hot?  I think we have our answer.

3) PS3, during GT5's launch, sold more in its weakest region than in GT zombieland Europe.  You know what that is PS3 fanboys?  That's the good news.  Enjoy it.

The Americas, once again, have set the patterns for this gen.  Wii in first, 360 in second, PS3 in third, and alllllllllll doing well.  This gen is the best.


There were no serious complaint about GT5 sales from PS3 users/gamers.  So please do not try to start any trouble by singling out "PS3 fanboys."

It's really sad that you viewed what I typed that way, because that wasn't the intention at all.  It was supposed to be more "don't get get mad PS3 fanboys because of the 3rd place finish; the console did really really good".  

Man ... this community ...


Given the context of the mass majority of reasonable responses to GT5 sales, what did you expect?


Not talking GT5 sales, though.  That topic has been beaten so much in other threads already that all that is left is a bloody stain on the ground.  I was talking about the PS3 bump due to BF and GT5's release.  I've seen negative comments in this thread about it.

Well, I'm not trying to start anything.  I'm just pointing out the fact that the "fanboy" comment was uncalled for because as I said "the mass majority of" "responses to GT5 sales" were "reasonable" even the negative ones.  This shows there can be reasonable negative GT5/PS3 sales comments which would NOT be a trait of a fanboy.  Now if there were a lot of unreasonable negative GT5/PS3 sales comments from PS3 fans then I'd see where you were coming from.

Nice sales for kinect adventures. I never expected to see 360 over 600k in Americas.

Wii just doesn't surprise me anymore lol, always high around holidays.
