lolwut? did someone actually pull out the gt5 bombed card? REALLY? 1mil plus is a bomb these days? ok then

Well people were playing the same card after Reach failed to set records, i've just stopped expecting people to be rational... 

@topic: Of course ~2M FW (once American and Japanese sales are included) is a massive success by any objective measure, the problem is that people like to measure success against their subjective standards.

So, respectable opening, as expected, but with that said I do not expect it to do 1M week 2.  I think GT5 had a lot more built up anticipation than 4 did considering the longer interval between 4 and 5 than there was from 3 to 4, and also the longer wait from prologue to full release.  All those factors lead to a little more frontloading imo...
