| Squilliam said: GT sold 25M on the PS2 and it sold 8M on the PS3 if we consider full versions only. The PS3 sold 67M copies and the PS2 sold 150M copies so the attach rate is pretty steady at around 10 Playstations sold per GT game sold. So yes GT is selling at the expected rate but the expectations for the sales were still too high. I remember there were many predictions that it'd have sold more than this by now and anything under 10M was considered blasphemy. So yes GT is selling as expected and it isn't selling as expected at the same time. |
Outliers are gonna exist in any prediction from both extremes of the spectrum. It makes no sense to use outliers as a means to judge the performance of a game. The average prediction for GT5 was around 10-11 million at the most - a figure which should be reached.
In fact, in this thread, the average LTD prediction was only 9.34m
