its funny when all these people are comparing aligned GT5 sales to GT4 sales showing it is only matching the sales. Even with huge adjustments up that is not good at all. I'll give you a quick comparison. In the weeks GT5 was released Halo Reach was on its week 9 and sold between 110-300k till week 17. GT5 is at week 9 at 90k and will only continue to drop. GT5 will surely show better legs then Reach in the long run, but holiday sales are that big of a factor as you will see GT 5 week 9-17 will probably be 40-90k weekly. Had GT5 been released at the same date as GT4 while first week sales would have probably been similar, Its sales over the next 8 weeks would have been half of what they are now. Still great sales but comparing aligned sales as proof that it will sell similar amounts to GT4 is laughable.

Ok.

So which was your first prediction for GT5 sales???

And now after the amazing sales for GT5 what your new prediction???

GT5 will sell bettet than GT4 lifetime.... that's my first prediction.

Hey rage thing, I bolded what catched my attention, are you aware that when you say (so proudly) that Reach sold over 100k in its 9th week and beyond that these weeks are IN HOLIDAY SEASON (no matter if it came out earlier, it was still in holiday season, hence why no significant drop in sales)... As you said until week 17, Reach's 17th week was out of holiday season, same for GT5's 7th. And see what happened.

This:

11
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment
8 97,152 5,319,623
29
Halo: Reach (X360)
Microsoft
18 40,769 7,652,372

The week before maybe?

11
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment
7 145,976 5,222,471
27
Halo: Reach (X360)
Microsoft
17 58,372 7,611,603

Both dropped, and GT5 still outselling it.
