GT games are not about records for first day, week, these games usually have long legs and sell well in every territories.

This makes GT5 sales potential sound even better.

Yeah i know what you mean, but i'm a bit worried, whether the negative press etc, might cut the legs. i planning to pick it up in a few months when i can devote more time to it. but i hope GT5 can do it.

PS. i see you and other fans were a bit upset with igns review.

imo i dont know how they could review the game or so many people compare it to Froza and Need for Speed, when they dont take into account the 3D component or the head tracking on PSEye.

I dunno if negative press could cut legs....it always could.

But it will be hard to tell because the expectations for this title in terms of sales are really all over the place...in the GT5 Sales PRediction thread (I'll be making the discussion thread for it tomorrow so you'll see everyone predictions there).....we have one prediction saying 5 MILLION LTD....one saying 14 MILLION LTD

Thats a range of 9 Million between peoples sales expectations for it......so it will be so hard to tell if negative press ever hurt the game because no-one is quite sure exactly where it should end up....SONY haven't really given any expectations either.

I was only a bit upset towards the IGN review because they say its the "best racing sim" but then give it 8.5 because the menu's were bad and other BS.....thats silly.

Sony expectations shouldn't be so big because the online servers crashed in the first day because they didn't expected so many gamers online.

i hate to say it but almost all sony made games with online  crashes when it get first released.. It has nothing to do with gt5 they knew it was going to sell truck loads.
