Forums - Sony Discussion - [ON SPOT OR CLOSE PREDICTION / GT5 Shipped by Mar 2013] I Believe Sony Will Ship 10 Million Copies Of GT5 Before 2 Years. And You?

Tagged games:

like you read in my sig im also believing GT5 will easily cross 10 mill...yeah the question is when...in under 2 years?okay i put my hand into the fire and say "yes it can" xD

The other question is when will the sales drop off enough to put it on greatest hits and if  so do you bundle it at the same time as it becomes GH or do it sooner/  later .



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

No, I don't think so. GT5's performance after the holidays hasn't exactly been stellar. Without the crazy legs granted to other GTs because of PS1/2's giant userbases and long term sales, I don't think it'll top 10m at all.

Could easily be wrong though - it did do pretty well in November/December.

Prove? GT5 was undertracked here and yet selling almost on par with GT4... after more 3-4 weeks will begin to track better than GT4.

I have no data from previous GTs but what we have show GT5 like the fastest selling GT ever.

Just to remember... GT5 shipped in 6 weeks what GT4 shipped in 6 months... see de difference? It was selling way better.

It was undertracked during the holidays. After that, we have no data save for VGC and it's better to take this lead rather than none at all. That it will begin to track better than GT4 in a few weeks is just your expectation, yet you state it like a fact.

This is getting ridiculous, really. It's not that hard being the best selling out of two when it was released during the holidays and the other wasn't.

Lastly, that was because of the holidays, again. If GT4 has been released during the holidays, it would've shipped and sold more early on. Instead, GT4 had fanstastic legs that GT5 may or may not have.

Since you seem distrustful of VGC data, there is no reason whatsoever to say that GT5 will sell better than GT4 as we have no data for the former outside of the holidays, when its sales were inevitably boosted and the title was made unnaturally frontloaded.

Erm, what exactly does that have to do with my point?

Anyway, I haven't and don't know how to check the figures, but GTA SA prolly did.

EDIT: VGC tracking says it hit 8m in sales in that period so it prolly shipped even more than that.

You believe the top selling PS2 game did it which was also release during the holidays.

My point is very simple, you claim that GT5 had a lacluster holiday sell but can only name one game from the ps2 that has done better in their first 6 weeks out. This is the biggest PS3 exclusive game so far, it's not even close. It has outsold games in a matter of weeks. It has shipped more than GT4 and is on pace with, If you don't think PD is shipping over 10million, then too bad.
