japan 600

america 1580

europe 3970

asia 230

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

I believe sales numbers for Finland were posted on a tracking site and they were around half of what the site has - i.e. according to VGC half of the Sly Collection's sales in EMEAA were in Finland alone!

Haven't looked at it in detail but I'm sure it was Finalnd - maybe you could search for it?

I think a lot of lower level selling titles are undertracked vs the big titles whose sales are clearer.  I imagine it would be hard to fix, though.

Here it is:

according to FIGMA (FInnish Games and Multimedia Association) Sly Collection sold 11,911 copies in Finland alone and in 2010 alone, while according to VgChartz it sold 11,694 in the whole EMEAA in 2010 and 2011 combined...

I guess Sly Collection sold a little over 100k in EMEAA... just like America.
