Failure? Which game are you talking about?

I see now... 2 post trolling GT5... GT5 = GOTY 2010 *IMO*

do you really think that is a good result to sell sub 500k in america during black friday?

gt5 is selling in line with expectations just in emea, doing more or less the same numbers gt4 did in 2006 with a March release

let's examine that with some data shall we?

(lot's off stuff not a much people care...)

Wow.  I think that settled it.  Could you cut/paste this in the rest of the GT5 is a huge failure threads kicking around?  I'm only a middling GT fan TBH, but the sheer mayhem and hysteria around the launch with so many talking nonsense in judgement of its performance is really wearing thin on these forums and this would appear to kill any such claims stone cold dead.

Well, strange how you put only "HD" games there...why is the separation? Why not putting Wii games there too? Is it because Mario Kart Wii is beating the crap out of any other game on your list? There is absolutely no point in making a division between "SD games sales" and "HD games  sales". 

Ok.

NA: Mario Kart Wii (1,212,795) >>>  GT5 (473,393)
EMEAA: GT5 (1,174,290) >>>  Mario Kart Wii (579,136) - GT5 undertracked here
JP: Mario Kart Wii (580,510) > GT5 (424,737)

So... similar sales?

I actually edited Mario Kart Wii out to not cause flames...it seems you got here too fast. Anyway, what i meant was more life time sales and not just first week. 

I agree.
