Actually, GT5 is performing on par with GT4 in the Americas (it only has to reach 2.8mill there to catch GT4 and it's already at 1.61mill (at a similar rate to GT4). It's only real blunder is Japan (which EMEAA will make up for and then some). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

you are seeming to ignore this HUGE tidbit of info, gt4 launched in march...gt5 launched on black friday week!!!!! that is crazy that you wanna give gt5 the same credit- if it launched in march like gt4 it wouldnt even of sold half

Lol....why'd you quote a different poster with my response? O.o

Regardless, you're speaking out of sheer speculation (and because GT5 didn't launch outside of a holiday period, it will always be speculation).

Bottom line,  GT5 is performing like GT4 in the States. I can only imagine that the holiday helped to front-load the sales, but not add any incredible, extra amount (and the numbers don't reflect such an assumption).

Actually, most established franchises do sell better initially, when given a holiday launch window. Games get more headstrong sales. Give 1 example of where this wasn't true, I dare you.

And for now GT5 is performing as well as GT4 in the states, but in EMEAA the sales ratio is dropping, and in Japan GT5 is dying.
