| postofficebuddy said: It's a myth that holiday releases kill legs. Look at Uncharted 2 and MW2. Both released right in the lead up to the holidays but both have had amazing legs. On top of that they're both sequels and by their very nature should be more front-loaded. I still stand by my prediction that GT5 will outsell GT4. GT5 will completely smash GT4 in Asia. After only 12 days shipments were only 10k behind GT4 in that region and GT5 will probably be on top by the end of the quarter. |
There are counter examples to holidays killing legs. Look at Left 4 Dead 2, also a sequel. 2.3 million in 7 weeks, now 52 weeks later, it just broke 3 million.
We can only make a proper comparision after the holidays end, and we see how much GT5 drops in weekly sales. A lot of people seem to agree with a 10 week comparision, I think by then we will get a clearer picture of GT5 sales.
Still educated post, I hope to see more of these.
