Shipment v Sold seem perfectly fine to me. VGC are spot on.

where is that shipment forecast you did Ethomaz?

My prediction was 7,930k for Sep 2011... 600k off... I'm on track with NA, a little under with Europe and a lot over with Japan... Japan killed me .

But I guess 600k off for shipment is not too bad.

hmmm... 600k is miles off to be honest...  you expected 1.6m, it managed 1.0m  thats an over estimation of 60%.

There is no way it will get another 1m by the end of December either, by then you will be at least 1m off.

It is essentially dead in Japan and grinding to a halt in the US.

Only bundles can get this anywhere near GT4, GT3 is out of the question (wasn't it always)

This is where the install base of the PS2 v PS3 really shows through.... for the mega selling games.

 

edit*  fire away, tin hat is on.

For 7 million... is just 8% off.

For December I guess impossible but for March 2012 is almost certain... there are the new Spec II in US.

My thoughts:

- NA: It will sell LT slightly more than Gran Turismo 4 (over 3.17 million)
- Europe: It will sell LT over any GT ever (over 6.76 million)
- Japan: It will sell LT under any GT ever (under 1.27 million)

 At the end will sell slightly more than GT4 (over 11.38 million).
