1. Agree but sold more than 5 million... so it's count a lot. 2. GT3 was bundled with every PS2 in US for a long time... the best GT in US after GT3 arround 3.5 million.... GT3 sold over 7 million. 3. GT3 sold more in US because the bundles... GT5 sold more in EMEAA because it sold more... and Japan is terrible with GT5... that's my point... GT3 sales are inflated because the BUNDLES in US... if it bundled normal (not for every PS2) then lifetime could be 11-12 million like GT4. No. It's easy to people compare a game heavy bundled in one region (GT3) with other with limited bundles (GT5)... but the most accurate comparison is GT5 and GT4 because the same leve of bundles... the GT5 had the first interaction advantage but GT4 had the bigger user base too. After all GT5 is doing better than everyone expected (even me)... selling better than GT4 until now and maybe better than previous one (there no data to show that). Now people not see how strong GT5 was in EMEAA: GT (lifetime): 4,300k It's crazy how much Gran Turismo growed in EMEAA. And how GT5 is doing good in Americas (US) too: GT (lifetime): 3,990k You see... GT5 is doing so good in Americas too. So just Japan is bad for GT5. People here will never accept or see that. |
First of all there are near 56 million PS2 sold in America and ''only'' 7M GT3 sold, so stop claiming GT3 was bundled with every PS2 for a long time. It doesnt make any sense. We're not talking about a Wii Sports type of bundling here.
Second of all, again, you ignored my whole point of a first iteration of an established franchise on new HW while comparing GT5 to previous titles.
Finally, to all those blinded fans who claims the game is sure to reach 10 million...eh I've got some news for you...We're not even sure if a game like Just Dance 2 which sold way more unit each week and has become way more popular than GT will reach that milestone so I don't see why we should now assume GT5 will reach 10M. Especially when we see that GT5 doesnt make the top 40 anymore and is selling less than 10k/week in America.
