This thread gave me a migraine reading it.

Now, GT5 is on its second shipment in Japan where a few people here keep calling it a flop, but somehow think Sony hasn't shipped new copies in the place the game is doing great. What's sad is the fact people defend these things depending on the console they follow.

Ultimately, with something like GT5, numbers sometimes are either misreported or misunderstood (similar situation to Halo: Reach, if you remember).

I'm only puzzled by some of the backlash from people that are so against a little curiosity and/or confusion.

Really?  I mean, you have been on this site longer then that.

I mean, you were around when Ioi had to freaking ban people from talking about shipped numbers on the forums because people were doing the EXACT same thing for console sales.  I believe it was the PS3... that or 360.

Either way, how often does this happen and threads like this happen?  Pretty much nonstop all the time.  Heck, there is a nother one about Kinect as well... though thankfully said article actually has a retraction where Microsoft clarifies it is sell-in.

When was the last time one of them that didn't quote a tracker was ever actual sellthrough?   Pretty much never right?
