Well, in all fairness GT5 came out after a long, long hiatus. There had not been one in years. PlayStationers were hungry for a good racing sim. Especially seeing how a Forza game comes out every year or every other year with updated graphics and things.

GT6 just isn't as desperately needed as GT5 was. Nobody should be surprised at the lower sales, just surprised how really low they are.

Wait, so Forza 5 is selling higher? Can anyone confirm that.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I am hoping the game loses money so it makes them go back to the drawing board and make some big changes to the franchise, it's gotten very stale imho.

But the more I see of the game and play it, seems very much GT5.5, which is fine I guess, but it means it probably cost little to make so they will probably make a good profit anyway.


I see... Just like Ps4 is Ps3.5 right?

I said GT5 won't pass 5M (for me obviously) unfortunately.

Expect typical vgc "adjustments" as real numbers release.

Any one that's known Vg long enough know enough times they overestimated or underestimated by as mush as double. I could buy the numbers if they made sense, NA with no tv advertisement selling as much as Europe with plenty tv ads and bundles makes no sense at all.

As I've been saying people, it's a Mega flop all the way. I mean we all know Mega evolutions are clearly better.

It will easily surpass that. I think GTPSP did those numbers and sold like 100k first week. Sony probably shipped close to 2mil alread for first week so I dont know why you dont think they will ship another 3mil and sell more digitally. Youll be eating crow soon enough

Sonys lackluster support of the Vita is the biggest mistake sony did in the last 3 years.
