Looks like GT5's sales performance is making a lot of haters silent..

There was 17.5m PS2 in Japan when GT4 came out, so with 1/3 of the console and 1/2 of the sales I think it's not bad. I know userbase is not really relevant but it is in Japan, it's a relatively small market with most of the games being frontloaded.

lol, prelaunch whenever anyone posted userbase arguments against GT5 doing as well as GT4, GT cheerleaders would always counter with the PS2 installed base when GT3 launched.  So... how about that?

GT3 had a weaker week than GT4 because of userbase probably but had great legs, but you know what? GT3 came out in the early PS2 days, it's as if GT5 came out in late 2007 on PS3. So people bought it because it was one of the must have back then. And I don't want to analyse something as old as 2001, we lack accurate data and context etc. For the time being don't bring what GT5 cheerleaders always say. I care less.
