at this rate GT5 will flop in NA for sure.


And at this rate halo:reach will flop in the rest of the world for sure. >_> *sigh*

Anywho, can't wait to get my hands on a fine quality AAA game that is GranTurismo 5.

well ofc. Yup reach will defenitly flop only americans like halo. Its not like halo 3 outsold every single ps3 exclusive in others to date. O wait it did, and thats odd there are more ps3s in others then 360s, especially considering lol 60% of 360 sales are repurchases. Dam this is strange. Nah im sure only americans like halo.

Ha wow I had no clue! That's ridiculous!  I guess Europeans like them some Halo too :)

I have never played a GT or racing game besides Rock N' Roll Racing that made me want to go out and purchase it.

I will buy Halo: Reach, but am I missing anything by not playing Gran Turismo  5? How is it different than other racers going back to Rock N' Racing where you customize your car from race to race?

I'm going to guess that GT is HUGE in the Others region?

I'm one of the biggest FFXIV fans, or FF fan in general in the world. But I hardly ever pre-order until I get a release date. I set the money aside for games before hand though. I have money for specific games, but they haven't been pre-ordered such as:

Final Fantasy XIV: Online - PC/PS3

FF Agito XIII

Versus XIII (Getting for my b-day...woot!)

The Last Story

Xenoblade

Birth By Sleep

Valkyria Chronicles 2

Metroid: Other M

Donkey Kong!

Killzone 3

Gears 3

Wait, I just realized... no 3DS games?  I know it's early, but you'd think some retailers might be opening preorders already?

That and they may be waiting for an inevitable bundle announcement/pre-orders.  I don't know if there are any numbers available for the previous GT's, but I'm wondering if GT has ever been high on the number of pre-orders. 

I also wonder, considering Halo (and popular FPS in general) does usually chart pretty high, if those who think Reach will definitely outperform Halo 3, as well as GT5, are a little worried.  I mean this is the 4th straight week to show a decrease in the number of pre-orders for the week.  And for it to catch up to MW2's 360 numbers, it needs about 82K for next week, as well as continued growth (with 62K being the lowest).  I just don't see that happening.  And I know that we don't have a breakdown for Halo 3's weekly pre-orders, but MS did announce on Aug. 9 '07 (about 8 weeks before launch) that Halo 3 had already gotten 1 mil pre-orders.  I also don't see Reach getting 650.4K pre-orders in the next 5 weeks.
