again i quoted your post because it was the one that i wanted to quote, it was the one that was ignoring the facts- and are u kidding me, speculation ! you saying that a game that launches in march is going to sell the same as one that launches at the absolute height of the holiday season....and wait till the first holiday weeks for gt4 and the same week for gt5 and you will see a major difference

I haven't ignored any facts. The situation is simple - you'll never know what GT5 would have done outside of a holiday (making your end speculation), but I can speculate that all GT5 did was rack up sales faster than GT4 because of it's holiday release, but will end up selling just a bit below it or match it in the end.

Considering GT5 sales sharply drop after week 5, and the attach rate of GT5 onto GT4 goes from 250% to 125% in only 2 weeks, I think there is ground for this belief. Also since sales are now sub 70% of GT4's, It's definatly a reasonable one. Numbers don't lie, so just plot a graph on excel and make a parabolic line of best fit... Then come back and say there is no trend forming.
