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

Yes because GT5 going into it's second holiday season will be bigger then GT4 going into it's first holiday season.. hmm....

Because that's exactly what I said...

I wouldn't bother continuing this battle. 6 million in under 4 months and counting = GT5 is speaking for itself. It doesn't need to perform like GT4, it doesn't need to perform better than GT4. It just needs to continue showing strong legs and it will cross 10 million as predicted.

I mean, NO GAME has gotten to 6 million as fast as GT5 and didn't make 10 million at some point, so it's crazy to think it won't. Then again, some people are set in their ways, so you have to know when to throw in the towel and let the figures speak for themselves.

MW2 for PS3 is likely 1 game.

Also Halo 3 ODST only sold 4 million in 15 weeks, and never crossed 6 million lifetime. Multiply those values by 1.5, and you see how GT5 selling 6 million in 15 weeks may still not break 9 million lifetime.

Gears of War 2 sold 4.44 million units in 10 weeks, which isn't that much less then GT5, and it's only at 6.17 now, likely 6.5 million lifetime. Scale this up with GT5's 5.7 million in 10 weeks, and it would have sold around 8 million instead.

MGS4 sold 3.2 million in 10 weeks, and is probably going to settle below 5.5 million lifetime. Scale that with GT5's 5.7 - 10 week figures, and GT5 would stop at 9.8 million. Thats ignoring the fact that MGS had a June release, so it's sales are much less frontloaded then GT5's.

So many games could be used to prove that getting 75% more sales after 10 weeks (what GT5 needs to cross 10 million lifetime), is by no means a garentee, and actually pretty hard. I mean how many non Wii titles sold over 75% of their 10 weeks sales after 10 weeks? Not many, and generally the ones that did do this had slow initial sales.

Your right, not game this gen has sold 6 million units in 15 weeks and not crossed 10 million lifetime, but thats a very small window. How many games are there to compare with which sold so much in 15 weeks?

The fact is, GT5 is not selling in the typical GT profile. Sales are dropping faster then GT4 sales. Although it's profile isn't quite the same as Gears, Halo, or MGS, it's also not quite GT4's. There is no garentee that GT5 will cross 10 million sales, stop trying to act as if you magically know this, despite the trend GT5 is setting.

Let the figures speak for themselves, don't try to force your own opinion onto me. I already told you, I'm not trying to change your opinion, but you seem adiment to prove me wrong. What is with you, why can't you accept that other people have different opinions? Does it bug you that much that your prediction may be wrong? You've attacked me on threads unrelated to this topic before. Before this game came out, people thought GT5 would make PS3 weekly sales soar past 360's, that never happened. Now people like you are so focused on this game making 10 million. what if that doesn't happen? Is the world over? No

I don't mean to be insulting, but grow up, stop trying to demean me by talking to other people and talking down to me. Telling people "Not to bother with this guy" is rude, and insulting, and I don't know how you don't see that.

I'm just going to stop talking to you. There is no getting through to you. You can continue to ingore other peoples opinions, just please stop pressing your opinion as correct, and mine as false. It's really annoying.
