I'll explain the relevance of the comparison between Gran Turismo 4: Prologue and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue ... Gran Turismo 4: Prologue sales were roughly 70% of Gran Turismo 4's sales in Japan, and it is highly likely that a lot of people who bought GT4:Prologue also bought GT4; it is also very likely that people who bought both of these "versions" of Gran Turismo would be the most dedicated fans of the series and the most likely to buy a PS3 to play Gran Turismo 5 on. The fact that Gran Turismo 5: Prologue's sales are so much lower than Gran Turismo 4: Prologue's sales implies to me that we should see a similar drop from Gran Turismo 4 to Gran Turismo 5; if I'm correct and Gran Turismo 5 only sells between 500,000 and 600,000 units in Japan it can't really be classified as that big of a game anymore. |
People please read that and dare tell me hes not a delusional fanboy.
Then agian he did say 360 will out sale PS3 2-1 in Europe on xmas 07 so thats how much weight you should put behind any of his posts. Heres a FACT, YOU have NO CLUE how much GT5p sold through PSN thats just one little fact you omited from your post. Gran Turismo no longer classified as a big games, ONLY on vg.  |
So, in a country where 80% of households DO NOT HAVE BROADBAND INTERNET, and most households pay for their dial-up on a minute basis, more people are going to download a multi-gigabyte game over weeks than are just going to walk out to the store and buy it? |
You know how fast the PS STORE is in japan? |
On dial up? I don't know ... 56k?
Basically 60 hours for every Gigabyte of data, at even $1 per hour you would end up spending hundreds of dollars to download that game.
