Now waiting GT5 adjustments in EMEAA.
|
it should be adjusted soon enough, to think the game is still full price in retailers so it must be trickling along for them to not drop the price
|
I've seen the price dropped. It was $39.99 last week at Fry's Electronics. It's still not going to catch GT3 and GT4 in sales. The only play it still selling is in EMEA and it's only selling about 25-30K a week and that will drop significantly as summer approaches. Unless Sony decides to bundle it again (don't know why they would do that with KZ3, Infamous 2 and Uncharted 3 out for the holidays), I don't think it'll break 9 million overall.
|
It may break 9 million, but not anytime soon. At this rate though, without bundling, 9 million seems to be a maximum. Still amazing, double Forza 3.
|
U wanna bet? It may break 9 million early 2012 and 10 million late 2012.
|
Actually sure, I'll bet. Avatar/Signature Control for 2 weeks?
Lets bet if GT5 will break 9 million units sold by the week ending March 3rd 2012. So the week ending March 3rd 2012, if GT5 is at 8,999,999 sales or less I win, and if it's 9,000,000 or over, you win.
Also were using initial VGC data. If they change the number from 8.99 to 9.00 million a week later or vice versa, the original data will be taken.
Sound good? Also Avatars/Signatures should be clean.
Quote me on this please.

The only point now is VGC had GT5 undetracked now in EMEAA... why will it not be at March 2012?
My bet was:
March 2012: over 9 million by PD
December 2012: over 10 million by PD
But I can bet with you with VGC numbers:
March 2012: over 8.5 million by VGC
December 2012: over 9.5 million by VGC

Polyphony Digital only lists units sold to retailers (aka shipped). I don't think judging how well a game is selling based of shipped figures makes any sense. Also because EMEAA is such a broad region, I feel this game is being overshipped to all retailers in case one country has the game selling particularly well.
I say, lets bet using VGC numbers (8.5 million by March 3rd, 2012, 9.5 million by the last week of December 2012). 2 weeks of Avatar/Sig control for each of the bets?
Deal? I won't forget this bet.
|
What? You really belive that?
I make a mistake in two last lines... the real one:
March 2012: over 8.5 million by VGC
December 2012: over 9.5 million by VGC
So I wanna bet.. just the date is March 31th and we will wait some weeks to se if VGC make any adjustments based in shippment figures.
I bet with real end of March numbers... not undertracked by VGC like now.
|
Okay sure, doesn't make a difference. The bet is for 2 weeks of Avatar control/Signature control.
So we use data including the week ending March 31st (lucky coincidence). For the second bet, were using data including the last week of 2012 (So first week which ends in January).
Just to clarify, what do you mean real end of March numbers? I want to make the bet using VGC sold numbers, whatever number is shown before adjustments for March 31st.
