Well sales raised 1300 % on amazon after the release date announcement. The game is huge here in Europe , and even bigger in Japan. So it will do fine. :)

no its not.

Japan;

Population: 127 million

GT sales:

GT: 2.55

GT2: 1.71

GT3: 1.89

GT4: 1.26

GT5P: 0.57

 

Europe;

Population: 731 million

GT sales:

GT: 4.31

GT2: 3.70

GT3: 5.83

GT4: 6.49

GT5P: 2.20

 

GT is clearly bigger in Japan. Yes, Europe has quite a few poor countries but that is simply a factor towards GT sales not being higher, yet again showing that GT is bigger in Japan.

GT moves more in Europe, as is natural since the population is a whole lot bigger but per inhabitant, GT is bigger in Japan so his statement is not false.
