When Project Gotham Racing 4 does 138,970 to date in the US after 10 weeks, it puts things into perspective.

not really, xbox360 owners have a hard time choosing games

this is one of the few ps3 games


no its not hard for 360 owners to choose in the racing genre

Actually, 90,000-ish unit sales is incredibly awesome for a preview-build of a game that's still months away, and only has maybe 1/10th of the cars, and items.

Whomever wrote the digg article fails massively.

FAIL:D?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

lol this is great he made the stupid thread then opens up a new topic on digg with a link to vgchartz and relinks to digg from vgchartz? This is cool. This is how you make news.

BTW does anyone know how often GT5P has been downloaded? I heard that downloads are a significant portion of the Warhawk userbase.

Sony expected about 1/5th of what was bought in reatail. I'd go with that number.

this is what always pissed me off with the GT series. Stupid Prologue versions.

Why do people even bother buying it.

to try out if the game will be good or not

Can someone lock this thread?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Was Sony expecting 450k first week of GT5 Prologue, when GT4 Prologue were around 200k?
