Well in about 4 weeks, GT4 begins to enter it's first holiday season in EMEAA, and although sales remain relatively flat for the next 6 months of GT4's sales, I don't think this will be the case for GT5.

More likely 20 weeks.

In Week 21 GT4 sold 25k and after that until Week 40 it down to 15k... the first holiday boost is Week Ending 03rd Dec 2005 (Week 40) when it sold 25k again.

The holiday boost in EMEAA for GT4 was low... 25k (Week 41), 40k (Week 42), 60k (Week 43) and go back to 40k (Week 44)... Week 45 (24k) was already January.

Just EMEAA data... the boost in Americas started before (mid November).

I did say sales remain steady at about 25k. It only goes down below 20k for a few weeks between week 20-week 40. If GT4 remains flat, and GT5 continues droping, the sales difference will grow. Get my logic?

I consider holiday season starting september. Most games don't go up in sales, but they also stop dropping, and weekly console sales slowly begin to rise.

I was just pointing out that the trend where GT5 sells less then 60% of GT4's weekly sales will likely remain to be the case for a long time coming.
