Can we now say that GT5 will sell 9M plus? Yes we can!

No we can't!

Maybe right now is a tad too early to call it. However, if continues to drop ever so slightly, and ends up 5 mill (plus) by year's end, it has a shot at it. Knowing GT's legs in EMEAA, I think his optimism is forgivable.

Indeed this is great 3rd week for EMEAA but let's be serious for a second, we're only in the 3rd week so we cannot even talk about legs for now... Let's talk about it again in 8-10 weeks. The game is selling great in EMEAA but it's selling very poorly in Americas and Japan on the other hand. Also don't expect GT5 to reach 400k for the next three weeks in EMEAA.

Well at this rate, 5 million by year's end shouldn't be too hard. If you expect it just to sell 6-7million in it's life, when it would have done most of that in it's first month on the market, then your expectation isn't realistic. Therefore, I'm inclined to be more optimistic.

And it isn't selling "very poorly" in America or Japan. It's just not doing the gangbusters it is in EMEAA (the region where it was always projected to sell it's highest amount).

Like I said my breakdown of GT5 sales for the upcoming years are:

4 million by year's end

2 million for year 2011

750k for 2012 and 400k for 2013 for a grand total of 7.15M LTD. So even if it reach let's say 4.5M by year's end it won't make the game reach 9-10M.

As for Americas and Japan, it is indeed really low numbers that we have seen so far. I mean come on the Japan preview for this week is showing GT5 at only 30k how can you find that not ''poor''?
