and i put down the likely sales for each game, which i feel will likely be around what they end up with.

Could you please post each posters prediction to back up your figures as I did.

1) Also why is your totals only based on initial estimates and not post release estimates as well, especially as these both confirm GT5 and GoW are significantly overestimated.

As requested by CGI quality, he doesn't like cherry picking.

actually GT5 sold about 15,000 last week, and we are in the middle of summer, sales are slow. in the fall and winter this game will get close to a couple of 100,000 weeks, and will sell close to a 2 million in the last 6 months of this year.

2) Says a difference of .1 on my lookup. Also is it your supposition that say for example, any game released toward the end of last year that's doing about the same is also likely to add another 2 million in the next 6 months, and another 3-4 million in it's lifetime. So we should say Halo reach will be 10.5 M by years end and 11 - 12.5 M overall.

Fable 3 will end up at 6-7 Million?

Assassins Creed Brotherhood  will go between 6-7 million? Is it typical for games to double their sales a year after launch.

Will this happen again with MW3. 20 million in the first 8 months, then 40 million by mid 2013 for example?

1) what... i posted numbers for both pre release and post release. and also averaged both. also when including all of them (even the ones after the games release) God of War is as of today, spot on, but good thing its still going to sell tomorrow, and the next day, and the next and the next, etc. Uncharted is Uncharted is absurdly under, only Gt5 is over. and thats because its been out for 8 months, and hasnt had a second Chistmas.

2) i have no idea what you are saying. GT4 sold over 14,000 last week. i dont dont know what supposition means. but yes GT5 should add another 3-4 lifetime. and even if it doesnt all it needs is 2 million to reach the predictions, and 2.3 for post and pre predictions, something it will come close to doing by the end of this year, and will pass with in a year from now.

barring  any pending adjustments on GT5, it should be around 8 million by the end of this year. by the end of next year (2012) it should be around 9.2 million, and by the end of its life it should be able to sell another 800,000 to reach 10 million. just look at any GT game and see its sales patterns
