No, it still really isn't. Not going to analyze weeks beyond 10 due to GT4's staggard launch, but week 10 GT4 sold 25% better, and the gap has been growing since. 65% tracking compared to 70% tracking, isn't a big difference, and 9 million lifetime is still likely.

 You are really good with maths.

2/3 = 67%

Just 2 weeks GT5 sold that (and the last one looks like old data... needs adjust).

On average it's scaling 79% as well as GT5 from week 11-15. Thats 12% higher then 2/3rds. The adjustment did help. However the trend is still there, sales do drop dramatically for GT5 after 7/8 weeks.

Still your did prove me wrong. However I think the ratio will fall. Equivalent GT4 sales are in May/June for Americas/EMEAA). July is generally the slowest month of the year for game sales, but the drop from May to July isn't that major. GT5 will be going from March to May sales in that timeframe, sales will drop more as the holiday season is further away, and the spring software support stops. After that GT4 will begin to enter its first holiday season, when GT5 sales are mid-summer.

You did prove it's no longer 2/3, it's 4/5 now. Good Job on looking up all the values. I'll admit I never analyzed weekly sales after the adjustment, and you got me.
