The last two weeks it sold over 30k per week... great sales... I expect the sales to go up in November/December.

500-700k in the holidays is possible.

I think that's pushing it, but maybe they will bundle GT5 for the holidays like Sony does with some of its other games.

I think 300k for the holidays pushing annual sales to 1.1 1.2 million, and then 500-600k next year. So by end of 2013 I think GT5 will be at 8.7 8.8 million. Don't know how well it will do when the PS4 releases and I think that comes out October 2013.

It's already 900k in the year... so before holidays (nov-dec) it will be around 1 million... 1.1 million for the year is almost impossible... 1.3 million is the lowest sales for this year I can see.

My maths...

Today: 892k

13rd Oct: 927k
20th Oct: 965k
27th Oct: 1.005k

Nov: 1.249k

Dec: 1.503k

LTD:  ~8.6 million

I'm being very very conservative.

Sorry, I thought it was at 800k for the year, so add 100k my year end prediction.

Has it been sustaining 30lk weekly for the past few weeks? Is it possible that the release of Forza Horizon (generating hype among racing games) or a bundle/sale somewhere is boosting sales?

If it hold 30k weekly for the remaining 13 weeks of the year, that's 390k. 400k sales for the remainder of the year would put GT5 at 8.3 million correct?

Anyway I'm not saying your wrong, I can respect your opinion, GT5 is doing much better then I expected, I just disagree, I think I'm being concervative and you're somewhere between liberal and conservative. Either way 8.3 - say 8.8 million. Not bad, it has a chance to break 10 million.

 

On another note....will GTA IV break 10 million? It's only at 9.33 million on PS3 ATM (That graph in the OP is wrong, GTA IV should be one whole cell lower).
