Okay 10% error range. That still means GT5 is selling 45-55k weekly, much much less then GT4's 90k weekly. Total range could be 10% off in the other direction, so it could have sold less then 5 million total.

Stop trying to show wrong data to people.

VGC show GT4 Week 13 selling 67,939 not 90k... and after that 60,955... after 55,236... while GT5 begin to hold over 40k.

77,354 vs 43,770. Last weeks data was posted after this thread was up. The difference is still 1.77 : 1 in favor of GT4 (instead of 1.8 : 1). 10% error, and AT BEST, you get 77k vs 48k. The ratio would still be 1.6 : 1. I'm being optimistic and claiming GT5 hold sales at 66% of GT4 (A ratio of 1.5 : 1).

Note I didn't include 10% error in GT4 data because that game is 5 years old, and I have never seen major adjustments on VGC going back longer then 2 years. That number is reasonably accurate.

This is not false data, stop trying to find an error in my estimate, and then focusing on it.

The fact of the matter is GT5 is only selling about 2/3rd as well as GT5. At this rate, it won't break 10 million.

GT5 won't hold 40k, it's only been 13 weeks. Give it 20, it will drop just like GT4 did, along with all racing games VGC has recorded (except for Mario Kart for other reasons).
