Weird thread. The game is showing up on pre-orders every week. Troll thread?

VGC has GT5 at zero post-preorder sales right now. Post-preorder sales means sales after a game is released and available in stores. Sony really messed up big time when it comes to GT5.

Yeah, since GT5 is so hot, it is supposed to do sales of GT5 after it is released before it is released.

Hey, since I have been informed that Wario DIY and also Red Steel 2 have officially bombed after only a few weeks of sales, I figured I might as well roll it back even further, and say a game bombed before it is released. It is only logical.
