It is kinda silly to predict that 50000 people would buy a PS3 for a racing Demo... I remember these kind of expectations for Japan(some people were saying it would open with 200k... only to do under 100k)

I think that GT will boost PS3 some, so these 100k should remain stable for next week.

I think you guys are just attributing it to the wrong source.


I just spent $600 on racing stuff (wheel and seat), all because of this game (not demo). It's funny how people overlook the impact of GT. It is, I think, the PS1 and PS2's biggest system seller.

People love to race, and people who love to race, seem to love GT. Also, all this game has to do is push people over the edge. Consumers are smart. They realize they are getting a MGS, GTA, FF, Blu-Ray Player, and <insert 10 other games>, system as well. GT5P was just the first thing that is huge this year to hit the market.
