Why don't you call a few of them out, see if you can stand up in an argument with those people instead of trolling.

so you know i was reffering to you huh LOL
I had my suspictions. You'll find that I know a lot of things you wouldn't expect.
hype behind gt5p made it sell like this ???oh boy..i love that excuse
Yes, hype and "word of mouth" help games sell. News at 11.
i really can't remember fans or Sony labeling the game as the full game
What you can remember is neither here, nor there. GT5P did have a demo, in Japan, if I recall.
You see, 321ttrif459dkkfs, when GT5P was first released, the common Sony playbook entry was, "Hype the game as a major release, so it will seem as if Sony has a good game released on its console." Now, after the game has been out for a while and Sony actually had some real games release on its console, the Sony playbook has changed to reflect that. The tagline now indicates that, "Look how well it sold, and it's just a demo."
Again, it's changed from, "This is a great new release from Sony" to "It's just a demo" simply because those arguments are better for appearences of the console and the game, at the time they are touted.
u got number 5 correct
I have them all correct. Those aren't my "guesses." Those are the reasons that GT5P has sold as well as it has. None of them were meant to insult the game, but I'm not gonna coddle Sony fans and their illusions either. IMHO.
Factors obviously exist outside of "the franchise is huge" that have led to the sales(or lackthereof) of this game, be they good or bad. The same holds true with all games.
Perhaps I would have been better served to explain why this game has sold only 2.5 million copies. That answer is much more simple: It's just a demo. Now, if I would have said that when the game was first released, I would have been flamed, by you, and your friends. Do you think that isn't true?
