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.

I think Sony's shipped more after that 2 week benchmark, but I also don't think these figures are sold through.  The two statements aren't mutually exclusive, Sony's just using an old figure.

And Japan is a flop, 2nd shipment or not.  It's sold in the same range as RGG4 and Hokuto Musou (550k-ish) which is something I think NO ONE really saw coming.  I was given hell for saying it wouldn't crack a million, but even I still figured like 800k plus. :/

No one? Sony shipped just 550k so they expected that... no surprise.

And I keep my prediction... 1M in Japan is possible a long term.

Sony doesn't control the ceiling on JP shipments, retailers do.  550k could've been well less than Sony "expected"... shipments aren't expectations or projections company side.
