I'm weird, I know. :( I have no ego to speak of. Oh, and I edited my previous post, but I'll just put it here too, cause I realize that must be annoying to guys trying to converse with me. Sorry about that!

@Darth and @Boutros: Honestly, I don't think they should be changed. Everyone else is shooting pretty high. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the series, it's not like I'm trolling here. But there's been a lot of pretty impressive games on the PS3 that have underperformed than what was anticipated. The Prologue has sold a lot, sure enough, but the fans of GT5 are dyed in the wool fans now, so I'm feeling that it's pretty safe to say that a LOT of fans bought it. It's a household name now. If such is the case, then my numbers might not be that off.

You know Prologue is at 4.95 million shipped right?  Also it has done a million more in Europe than your GT5 LTD prediction.

EDIT: Actually I see you revised your prediction.  But it still has the same issues, if anything I'd say you're overestimating NA at least compared to Others.



WEEK 1 PREDICTIONS:

 

Name North America Others Japan TOTAL
 Postofficebuddy  1.4 million  1.5 million
 700k  3.6 million

 

Sales after 10 WEEKS Prediction:

 

Name North America Others Japan TOTAL
 Postofficebuddy  2.8 million
 3.8 million
 900k  7.5 million

 

LTD Sales Prediction:

 

Name North America Others Japan TOTAL
 Postofficebuddy  4.2 million
 6.8 million
 1.1 million
 12.1 million

 

The North America prediction is including Latin American sales. This will be the first GT game officially released in that region. God of War 3 has sold 45k in Brazil and Sony says they anticipate GT5 to do even better there so I would expect about 200k-300k lifetime in the region.

No problem

you can still change your predictions till 15th September after which you won't be allowed to change your predictions. Keep an eye on the NA pre-orders chart!

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I mentioned this in another thread but for first week sales in EMEAA it's worth noting that it will most likely have 4 days to sell rather than just one. Currently most evidence suggests that it will be a WW release on November 2nd, a Tuesday rather than the traditional Friday.

First week...

Americas - 800k / Europe and Others - 1m400k / Japan - 700k

Total 2m900k

Ten weeks...

Americas - 1m800k / Europe and Others - 3m200k / Japan 1m

Total 6m

Lifetime...

Americas - 3m / Europe and Others - 6m200k / Japan 1m300k

Total 10m500k

Most predictions for 10 weeks are way too low. Remember GT5 releases straight into the holidays.
