Nice timing for a new 16gb owner :P no need to download anything


bu bu this game won't hit 10mil...like everrrrrrrrrrrrr

You should have know that this wasn't ever going to come to pass. GT is Sony's biggest franchise and the largest, most popular driving / racing sim in the industry. GT5 even brought some newcomers, like myself and though it's still got a ways to 10 million, it will cross it.

hehe yep :D I just love how it's one game after another....GT,. uncharted, heavy rain. With GT I think people just don't understand how it sells long term. I feel sorry for ethomaz...he had to debate for god knows how many pages with some people about it

This has been a crazy gen. Some predictions were outrageously optimistic, others desperately negative. What I've learned is to look at trends, brand power, and word of mouth as the best indicators of how to make a predicition. Most of the big PS3 exclusives shattered expectations (we won't bring up the one that I mainly hung solo on for some time ), but one thing was always certain in my mind - GT5 would be one of the most underestimated titles all gen (mind you, it still has no universal, constant bundle like GT4 had in the same time frame).

This Academy Edition should do great over there, bundled or not.

Yeah I hope they announce it for NA too. Sales here won't be anywhere near the Europe ones but still could move quite a few copies. But yeah crazy gen indeed. Sony must be happy to see the strength of the franchise going into next gen, despite having a much smaller user base this time around. Bodes well for the next GT as well

what do you reckon? GT6 or GT6 prologue?
