I blame "Nier".

What an excellent game. Fuck the bullshit 67-68 Metascore. Reviewers are retards.

As a general rule of thumb, these days you add 10 points to the Metascore of a Japanese game and deduct 10 of a Western game. Suddenly it seems more right.

"My personal experience has shown that some of the lowest selling titles are indeed the best selling titles."

I guess that's what happens when you drink a lot of beer or booze in general. Numbers can look very different then.

LMFAO, I did say that didn't I? 

Yes, I was drinking tonight, but I meant to say that some of the lowest selling titles are the best titles.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Even with GT5's adjustment, it's still going to cross 4 million this week and will likely cross 4.5mill by year's end.


3M alone in EMEAA! :)

So why is the Halo series demeaned for how disproportionately it sells in NA but the same is not done with GT5 in EMEAA?

Not to say its right, but just find it ... interesting ...


Because that's a kind of silly claim to make about Gran Turismo as a series. Both GT2 and GT3 sold more in Americas than in EMEAA. The Halo game that saw the lowest percentage sales in Americas (out of the total) is Halo 3 with 72%. For a comparison, GT5:P (the GT game that so far has the highest percentage sales in EMEAA) sold 55% in that region. I very much doubt that the ratio between EMEAA and the world for GT5 is going to be much different from that.

There's also the matter of  EMEAA being many countries with vastly different cultues, whereas Americas is pretty much ~ 90% USA.

(Not that I agree with the demeaning).

Well the demeaning is the crux of my point.  If it wasn't for EMEAA (and no, I've never liked that grouping), GT5 would be nothing.  But the same can be said of, say, Halo Reach and Americas.  But those purchasers in Americas are quite often demeaned in this community for it as well as the series in general, but GT5 sales in EMEAA have been celebrated for carrying the title.

For the record, this is NOTHING against these games.  They've pretty much proven themselves.  I'm just calling out an inconsistency in the way the community responds to these things.  In fact, if I wanted I could bring up the same inconsistencies with the response to Kinect's performance in Americas ...

Using Polyphony shipped numbers without GT5 data ftm.

  Americas Japan Europe Asia EMEAA Worldwide
Total 20,05 9,72 25,94 0.66 26.6 56.36

- Americas : 35.6%

- Japan : 17.2%

Europe : 46%

Asia : 1.2%

- EMEAA : 47.2%

Using VGchartz numbers including GT5.

  Americas Japan EMEAA Worldwide
Total 20.38 10.02 27.87 58.27

- Americas : 35%

- Japan : 17.2%

- EMEAA : 47.8%

Now let's check Halo, with VGChartz numbers because that's all we have.

  Americas Japan EMEAA Worldwide
Total 30.89 0.50 10.17 41.56

- Americas : 74.3%

- Japan : 1.2%

- EMEAA : 24.5%

 

Now you see why Halo and GT case are not alike.

WTH did GTA: San Andreas for PS2 make it to number 40? How old is that game, and it sold above GTA IV? Something is odd about that

So GT5 down, Kinect down and 360 down.  That just about kills a ton of discussion for this thread, eh?  : P

And PS3 up? EPIC WIN.

It's still unusual for it to sell better then GTA IV, especially because in the past weekly sales have been much lower. There must have been a clearance somewhere..
