Worth saying that this was at the end of December. Our RETAIL sales for the game at the end of December are as follows...
Worldwide - 5.07 Million
Japan - 560k
Americas - 1.4 Million
Europe/Asia (And other areas) - 3.08 Million

It's hugely undertracked, really.

Yes, Japan and America retail are quite compatible with their respective shipped numbers, but EMEAA and WW look undertracked by 600-700k, if the % of units still on the shelves or in the channel is the same in EMEAA as in JP and America or even slightly higher than in America (as JP being a smaller region will have the smallest % in the channel, America has obviously a larger one and EMEAA % should be by a small amount larger than America, being more sparse but with its most important part commercially, EU, with similar compactness and average transports distances and efficiency to North America).
Also, considering the first shipments, Asia should give GT5 at least 300k units lifetime more than to GT4.

It seems to be me that this makes sense.
if this is the real number then its possible that GT5 could do 8mil by the end of the year and 10mil by 2013. which is great news.
but are other PS3 games are undertracked?? because Sly Cooper certainly is, but are their other ones dont we know about??
could a moderator please comment on their thoughts about this matter because i'm curious if GT5 is a one off, or part of a bigger picture we cant see yet! theres also more PS3s in Europe than any other region, and we know this region is very difficult to track so any information from vgc mods would be much appreciated!

i keep hearing people saying Sly is undertracked, im not saying its not, but what makes you guys think it is
|
can't remember for which country it was, but we had SW numbers for one country in Europe and the sales for sly collection in that country alone was more than what we have for the whole region
|
It was Finland i think. and GT5 was the best selling game of 2010 in that region ironically. both games were in FInland's 2010 top 50 best selling games and both games are undertracked here on vgc it seems. so the missing sales of GT5 and Sly seem to be coming from these combined sales of smaller European countries.
the big countries like the UK (okay not physically big - but you know what i mean), Germany, France, etc seem to be tracked appropriately. but smaller EU countries are harder to track.
the thing i'm curious about is that we know these 2 particular games are undertracked - or at least we think they are undertracked. but what other PS3 games are there we dont know about, because GT5 could only be a peice of the biger picture - which is why i wanted someone from admin to post their thoughts on the matter.
