However to be fair, Forza Motorsport 3 was only announced like 5 months before it released. Some of these GT pre-orders are probably years old. I bet you Forza weekly american weekly pre-orders from now on will match, if not surpass GT5 pre-orders. That said I expect GT5 to get 250-275k pre-orders, and have a 500k opening week in Americas, probably 1-1.2 million worldwide.
|
FAR too low for WW. 500,000 is feasible for Americas, although I personally think it'll do closer to 600,000, but have you forgotten about EU & Japan? 2.2-2.5 mill Week 1, at least.
|
Your right, I did underestimate EMEAA week one sales there. wrote that comment kind of late.
However I think your overestimating GT5. GT4 sold 770k in Americas week 1 and 2.5 million worldwide. I think GT5 will probably be closer to the 1.5-1.8 million week 1 opening, 2 million at best IMO. Don't see it doing better then 2 million, as I don't see week 1 sales being 4 times as large as Forza 3 week one sales (470k).
|
GT5 could easily outdo Forza 3 by that much, it's a much larger franchise. 2 million Week 1 at the least, bud. You'll see.
|
Forza 3 sold 3 million, and is still selling pretty strong. Most GT's sold 10 million lifetime, and IMO I think GT5 will sell worse then past GT's (but not that much worse). So it makes little sence to me for a game like GT5 to have 4 times week 1 sales, but at best 3 times lifetime sales.
I think 1.5-1.8 week 1 is reasonable, we just differ in opinion here.
|
It might make little sense to you, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Regardless, I know how these debates turn out, so I'll leave it with your last sentence.
