GT5 hasn't been in the top 10 for several weeks, I think my opinion is valid.

The game has been out for two months, why would it remain in the Top 10 1 month and change after release without any continuous heavy bundling? Very, very few titles have ever done that.

And really, it's #12 after two months. That's fantastic, and again, something most franchises don't do.

Very very few titles sell 5 million units after the first couple months. Looking at Gran Turismo 4, it was the best selling game for 10 weeks after it's EMEAA release, and then held second for the next five, third for one week, and then back to first. This game stayed in the top 10 for 24 weeks before it finally dropped out.

How can you except GT5 to sell the same, when it's nowhere near the best selling weekly title, and it's sales are plummeting after holiday release?

Being in the top 10 for over a month is hard, only a few games ever do this. However these are the games with strong legs, that sell 10 million or more units. Halo, Call of Duty, older GT's, GTA's they all do it, but GT5 doesn't.

I have adaquate reasoning to beleive GT5 will sell within my predicted range of 8.5-9.4 million lifetime. Stop hassling me on it now, your not going to change my opinion, especially when you can't back up your side. You need to respect other peoples views, especially when they are different then your own.
