This softens the blow of GT5 flopping in Japan. It's got 3 more weeks of holidays sales and could pull  300k plus in each of them in EMEAA alone!

Japan was never going to be humongous for GT5, which is why I predicted it would do no more than 500,000 week 1, 1.1 mill lifetime. I'm sure it will have bundles, especially in Japan. So it will clear 1 million there.

Looking at EMEAA, however, is another matter, and this is the region that shows that userbase difference =/= much lower sales...

GT4 second week: 542,279

GT5 second week: 520,794

EMEAA loves them some Gran Turismo. My 6 million lifetime prediction for the region looks reachable, as does 4 million WW by year's end.

You really think it'll top a million in Japan after a 55k second week? It'll need lots of bundling to even beat RE5 :/

It will get bundles, that's my point. And really, it won't take that many bundles to get it there. It'll clear 600,000, at least, before any major bundling.

Besides, RE & GT have always had comparable sales in Japan, and if RE can get to 840000 in nearly 2 years (with a lower opening than GT5), I don't see why GT5 can't get to 1 million there.

RE5 had a re-release for Gold Edition then a re-re-release for Gold Edition with Move. Capcom is master of re-releases in Japan (see MHP2G). GT5 will get bundled at one point with re-release like Prologue Spec 3. However, it might crawl to close to 1 mil at the end of gen. It's gonna take a long time though.
