GT5 3rd week - 480k

GT4 3rd week - 290k

 

GT5 outsold GT4 by 190k.

 [GT4] was released on December 28th, 2004 in Japan and Hong Kong (NTSC-J), February 22nd, 2005 in North America (NTSC-U/C), and March 9th, 2005 in Europe (PAL)

 

Whilst I' not trying to detract from the success of GT5, the comparison is flawed. GT5 is experiencing a Christmas boost, GT4 did not (In EMEAA that is)

No one is arguing that, I think what people are getting at is that all those who thought this game would fail or would sell less than Prologue or roughly the same have egg on their face. You have no idea how many times I've read about how GT as a series is dead, no one cares about it any longer, they would rather play shooters, installed base too low etc.

Bottom line is; these people were wrong, dead wrong.

Well, yes, and I was never arguing against that. I've always predicted a bit over 9 million and am still fairly hopeful that the amount of egg on my face will be minimal

My very own LT prediction is 9 million so I think we're in heavy agreement here.
