EU is the most popular region for GT ! 80% of 1.8 million is 1.44 million, according to your logic only 360k copies were standalone copies of the game..making EU the worst territory for GT.
End this now.

No sir you fail for jumping to quickly. I said 80% of EU sales. Not 80% of the whole time period.

Decent commercials.

Can't watch the videos right now so I can't comment on them, but I'm sure I'll be seeing lots of ads for the game all over my TV watching soon enough knowing Microsoft.

As for the GT5P vs. Forza 2 sales arguments, I'm sure bundles helped both games reach higher sales, but one thing that hasn't been brought up is price. GT5P released for $39.99 where Forza 2 was a full price game at $59.99. Obviously both games were/are cheaper to find later in their life spans now, but I think it's an important factor to consider since a $40 price point will lead to more sales for those on the fence a bit--especially those who knew it was a demo. Also, I don't think there were much for bundles in North America (I can't recall any in my area of Canada) for GT5P and I think it shows with the really lackluster *disc* sales stats.

As a side note related to people knowing/not knowing it's a demo, I still see flyers now and then that just show it as "Gran Turismo 5" in the advertising which always gives me a chuckle.

Not too excited about the music for this game but I have Zune. Pride and Joy by Steven Ray Vaughn+Twingo=Win. They should've used that in the ad too :P


Yeah, the music in the demo was awful.

It's hard to tell with how crappy the damaging modeling is, but I would suspect it is since sometimes you end up with "damage" (i.e. pixelated scrapes) on the opposite side of the car from where you actually made contact with something.
