Reach numbers are just crazy. The damn advertising hasen't even started yet and it is nearing a million pre-orders with like 2 months to go almost...The next few weeks are going to be interesting to see if it can over-take MW2 or not.

And GT5 doing a bit average really. A lot of games are now about to over-take it with the same time to go i.e Fable 3.

really? a lot of games? Fable 3 is 40k behind with 1 less week, it gained 6k this week. thats 6.5 weeks to overtake it. Granted i know its not going to be linear but its not making leaps and bounds over GT by any means. The next game PS3 Fallout is 12 weeks out and 50k behind GT and GT had mor epreorders this week. Same with Force Unleashed. Youre just making sweeping generalizations that arent even remotely true.

We all get it, you want to downplay GT, but im guessing based on my bolded quote you simply just say things without having the slightest bit of evidence to defend your reasoning on the matter. I mean, i dont even know a lot about GT sales history, but just based on you saying "A LOT OF GAMES ARE NOW ABOUT TO OVERTAKE IT WITH THE SAME TIME TO GO" when all i have to do is scroll up to see thats utter bullshit, im not going to buy your "reasoning" on why its average, when a racing sim is trending with a CoD game in arguably its weakest region.

Wow talk about over-reacting.

So by me saying other games were closing in on GT5 which makes GT5 numbers seem rather average you got all that?!

FF online,Fable,Fallout,star wars, assasins creed etc etc are all doing roughly what GT5 is each week.

Not quite sure how that clasifies as "bullshit" when the numbers are there to see and see that i am right?

As for the other stuff about regions and that, wow you really went off on one. All i said is that it was doing average, which it is. But yet from that we get an essay on how it isn't it's popular region etc.. which shows that you feel you have to defend it.

But you seem to be a good fortune teller, you can predict what is going to happen. But just to correct you a little to show that maybe you don't quite know what your talking about. You mention GT5 is tracking alongside MW2 on PS3. If you look at MW2 numbers on PS3 for the first week your see that they are less then the first week for GT4 in the US. Meaning if it continues to track at MW2 rate it will be a lot lower then it's previous games opening week. With all your talk you would expect it to beat those numbers right. Because selling less is considerd better in your world yeah?

I am happy to make a bet with you right now. Put your rep on the line. You seem to think you talk the talk, now let's see if you can walk the walk. I bet you right now GT5 worldwide figures for it's first week will not beat 2.5m units sold sold. Meaning the series will have declined since GT4 was released. You claim the rest of the world is hyped about it etc.. that US sales should not be looked into too much as everywhere else is where it will sell. I live in Europe and i can tell your right now that times have changed. People don't think of the game in the same way anymore.

So how about it? You are super confident that i am wrong. You "Know" that it is going to sell xyz in Europe making it on par with certain games. If i am wrong i will leave Vgc for good. If you are wrong you put in your sig "don't listen to me, all i do is talk shit". Deal? What have you got to lose, as you are so sure your right?

EDIT: Nevermind, i read your post again. Im not going to even bother, not worth it. Take care.
