Did you not argue with me in this thread that the hype for GT5 in Europe is soo great that because of it Europe sales would be 6-8 million alone (Not EMEAA, Europe)??? Freiza makes a valid arguement, but I think his estimate on GT sales is far too conservative. Freiza, how do I check the search hits from google?? Did you read this in an article, or actually check the hits somehow? Also GoW3 might get 5 million total. Probably not, but it should cross 4 million abd be the best selling GoW game |
You can check the hits here, http://www.google.co.uk/trends
It keeps track of what people are searching for, so for example i compared 2010's Worldwide hits for Halo, Call of Duty and Gran Turismo supposedly the biggest games this year.
Halo has 7.4x as many hits as GT, Call of Duty 8.2x as many hits as GT. Obviously Gran Turismo is not even in the same league as those games.
But to me its obvious Halo and COD are far bigger than GT so i compare it to other popular series but not mainstream ones, so Street Fighter, Tekken, God of War.
Tekken gets 60% more hits than GT, Street Fighter nearly double the hits of GT, and GOW nearly 3x as many hits as GT. So Gran Turismo isnt even generating more interest than those games.
Even Forza has 34% more google hits than GT this year.
Theres hardly any hype at all for this game, GT comes out soon yet in October Mortal Kombat got more hits than GT, and this games gonna magically sell 10 million copies? it amazes people are so idiotic sometimes.
