As impressive as the sales are for GT5, i find its better to break things down by region. in which case GT5 is certainly the best selling Sony exclusive in the EU, so here its been a monumental success, on the PS3 only rivaled by the shooters and GTA4.
for Japan, while the sales are strong, its a bit weaker than previous instalments and it seems even FF13 has not broken 2mil units in the region. so comparatively for Japan, i think when GT5 reaches something like 0.70 mil units, (similar to MGS4's numbers) it can be considered a huge success. but still good numbers.
and heres the problem, in the EU and Japan, while GT5 has done very well in a short space of time, the US (and Canadaian) sales, have been moderately good, GT5 failed to reach the top 10 in that region for a few weeks.
so yes the sales for GT5 are excellent WW, but imo i'm not sure if it can do over 10mil, because of the US sales. so it will take at least 5.5 - 6 mil in the EU (i think), and hopefully the US will be able to get it over 3.5 mil, but i'm holding off the excitment until next month, when we should get a better idea of where it will finish up.
