Well the demeaning is the crux of my point. If it wasn't for EMEAA (and no, I've never liked that grouping), GT5 would be nothing. But the same can be said of, say, Halo Reach and Americas. But those purchasers in Americas are quite often demeaned in this community for it as well as the series in general, but GT5 sales in EMEAA have been celebrated for carrying the title.
For the record, this is NOTHING against these games. They've pretty much proven themselves. I'm just calling out an inconsistency in the way the community responds to these things. In fact, if I wanted I could bring up the same inconsistencies with the response to Kinect's performance in Americas ...

Using Polyphony shipped numbers without GT5 data ftm.

Now let's check Halo, with VGChartz numbers because that's all we have.

Now you see why Halo and GT case are not alike.

Except, outside of special edition consoles, Halo games weren't bundled. If you remove GT3 from that comparison (which was HEAVILY bundled in Americas), how does it look at that point?
