ethomaz did this on the EMEAA Up chart, and since Gran Turismo 5 is 15 weeks old, and worldwide sales are largly debated, I thought it would be smart to do this for worldwide figures. So here are a bunch of current gen games, and their 15 week figures, lets see how GT5 did with it's most recent adjustment. Since GT5 did sell pretty low compared to a lot of worldwide debuts, I will make the list include everything above 5 million sales

  • New Super Mario Bros Wii - 12,590k
  • CoD: Black Ops (360) - 11,668k
  • Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 10,052k
  • CoD: Modern Warfare 2 (360) - 9,754k
  • Wii Fit Plus - 9,497k
  • CoD: Black Ops (PS3) - 9,360k
  • Kinect Adventures! - 8,772k
  • Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver - 7,643k
  • Halo: Reach - 7,397k
  • CoD: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) - 7,019k
  • Halo 3 - 6,959k
  • Mario Kart Wii - 6,527k
  • GT5 - 6,013k
  • Wii Sports Resorts - 5,959k
  • Wii Fit - 5,750k
  • Just Dance 2 - 5,538k
  • New Super Mario Bros. DS - 5,433k
  • Pokemon Platnium - 5,200k

    • Am I missing anything? Not bad for GT5, behind MW2, but the game will have better legs. By comparision GT4 only sold 5,478k by this point. However GT5 weekly sales are 60% GT4's and the weeks it sold better to get this ratio were holiday weeks, where sales are inflated (GT4 was launched in February for US, March for EMEAA, and the very end of December in Japan.

    No, they aren't....

    Was recently adjusted lay off man. It's 79%, but likely to drop.

    Sure, drop and rise up again when GT5 enters it's second holiday season with possible bundling.

    Michael Michael Michael... just for you:

    See this? Strange drop from week 14 to 15 right? Eventhough VGC updated their numbers, this table shows some strange variations in GT5's sales tracking after the tenth week. Dropping from 55k to 37k sounds too weird to be trustable compared to other weeks, just saying, expect another adjustment next time that PD updates their website, and we'll be here again to see how funnily you're gonna explain how it doesn't change your prediction. :) Because if we look closer to the EMEAA table alone:

    EMEAA:      
    Weeks GT4 GT5 Difference Temp GT4 TEMP GT5 Cumulative
    14 47 261 36 662 -10599 2 882 308 3 694 490 850 986

    18 24 659          
    Total: 3 014 599 3 754 780 740 181      

    Then sorry but no one will make me believe that it dropped from 36k to 21k (more than 40% drop on week 15...) eventhough it was still there in most of the charts through Europe with no significant drop.

    Oh and in Americas:

    Interesting GT5 15W total and GT4 23W total are almost the same, for those saying GT5 was gonna flop real hard in Americas, and sink real fast. It's tracking really good, and will for sure outsell GT4 in the long run, GT5 will for sure outsell GT4 in EMEAA too (no way it's not gonna do it), only Japan will remain superior for GT4, good luck with your 9.4m prediction happening.
