| Michael-5 said: Freiza is right about 1 thing. GT5 is being released the week of Black Friday, typically a week where all games get a fairly large sales boost. So we know week 1 it will sell above 1.5 million units. However this means nothing, you can't exactly compare GT5 week 1, or even month 1 sales to GT4 because it's being released right during the peak holiday window. It's like comparing Halo 2 to Halo 3, In the first 10 weeks Halo 2 outsold Halo 3 because of the November release date (vs september for Halo 3), however Halo 3 ended up selling 3 million more copies. Also the ODST vs. GT5P comment was a pretty good one, except the numbers were off. (6 million vs 5, not 4). He makes a good arguement for why GT5 will not sell 10 million units, I mean no PS3 games (nvm exclusive) has sold that well. People may say Uncharted, and God of War broke those sale ideologies (MGS4 was heavily bundled with the last backward compatible PS3), but those games are still only looking at roughly 4 million LTD sales. GT5 is of another league, it may not be as successful as prior installments, lets not forget GT for PSP. I think both Freiza and the people who are debating with him should all calm down. Your entitled to your own opinion, lets not attack each other over it. 6-8 million is not entirely unrealistic (I'm predicting 9.3 btw). I think all Freiza intended to do was attack the 40% of voters who beleive GT5 will outsell GT3, because....well it is a little over eggagerated. He was a bit rude, but being rude in return doesn't solve anything. I mean I see these same people attack others who predict sub-6 million, so how are you guys any different from Freiza? Lets stop the bickering and all join in for a big hug |
<---I'm joking, don't touch me!!! AHHH!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, what he's trying to do is rile people up and set fires on the board. All he does all day is go into GT5 threads, any GT5 thread and semi-troll and troll for attention and heat. Seriously, check out his post history and how many threads he crashes into with the same broken record sentiments about how it will fail, no one cares, it has no "buzz" etc. I haven't seen a case of someone trying to spark a huge flame like this in here in months.
He's not speaking out towards the 40% on the poll, he is trying (and succeeding) in upsetting every GT5 fan on the site by being rude and childish. Please don't defend this kind of behavior on the forums.
