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.

You aren't being "hassled" at all, but called out for your inconsistencies. It puts things in perspective when debating with you (as you've been in similar situations before). And I know you know little of me, I respect people's views quite well, but you are, again, crying foul like a helpless victim. Learn to debate without always taking it so personal.

To the topic: Halo: Reach wasn't in the Top 10 longer than GT5, (but that's truly irrelevant because GT can't be compared with Call of Duty or Halo in sales trends). As for GT4, please show me the data proving it stayed in the Top 10 for 24 weeks. It may have stayed longer than GT5, though again that will probably mean very little in the long run, but I don't think it was 24 weeks.

To end off, I don't want to change your opinion, or make you feel "hassled/insulted" or whatever, but there are things you said before that you aren't being up front with now, and I just find that inconsistent.

Your just rude. "crying foul like a helpless victim." I mean common, and you say that you respect other peoples opinions? My views aren't inconsistant, you just like to agrue, and you want to change my opinion because it's different then yours and I stand on a pile of supporting evidence for my opinion.

I nevber said Halo: Reach was in the top 10 longer then GT5. Your putting words in my mouth.

and GT can be compared with CoD and Halo sales. I'm ignoreing week 1 because we want to know which game will have stronger legs, and GT isn't really selling that much better then Assassin's Creed.

The data for GT4? Your on VGChartz! Go look up the worldwide weekly sales yourself!

Enough said, I'm not getting into a debate with you about this, you know my opinion about the game, and I know yours. My points are not inconsistant, you've mentioned that multiple times and failed to site where, your just adding fuel to a useless debate. Lets leave it at that.
