More news about the GT5's sales on Finland. The game became Double Platinum (sold over 40k) after it first week.

To compare these numbers the World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm became Platinum after few days of sales and Halo: Reach after 2.5 months of sales.

The user base estimate for Finland is about 200k... so the GT5 ratio is over 20%.

AMAZING SALES!!! FANTASTIC RECORD!!! PARTY!!!

OFFTOPIC - GT5 is SOLD OUT at Amazon.co.uk

40K? That's it? lmao!! Halo Reach was Triple Platium it's first week in America alone. GT5 was double, but that was Worldwide. Don't ever compare Halo Reach sales with GT5 again. It's embarrassing. Of GT5 is sold out on amazon.co.uk, because that's all UK gamers care about is soccer and racing games. lol!! They've been waiting for this game for over 5 years. Now watch the sales drop like a rock over the next 2 weeks. 

This post (at least the bolded part) is hilarious.

You have probably never heard of GT's legs dude, or you're ignoring them. GT has always been a franchise that sold over time, and didn't do Halo like numbers in its' first week. Not saying that it will catch Reach,  it definitely won't.

OT: Great sales for it in Finland (but well, it's a very small market compared to many others). Seems to be big there.
