Anyone notice that Black Ops on 360 is picking up the pace to surpass even Reach's numbers?

Love the Gran Turismo 5 doom and gloom. Funnily enough, God of War III, Uncharted 2, & HEAVY RAIN haven't taught any lessons yet.

Anyway, Reach is WAY higher than I thought it would be, Medal of Honor is looking pretty good, and GT5 should do 500,000 Week 1 in the States.

what? their sales were terrible, mass effect 2, l4d2, and alan wake outsold them respectively.

and the gt5 doom and gloom exists! because like pachter says if it doesnt sell 1st week it doesnt sell. pachter=gaming god

are you doubting the gaming god? oO



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

You're seeing things. Only one person has made a comment about low GT sales ( a PS fan no less ), and he isn't saying doom or gloom, or that it'll fail, just insinuating that pre orders are unusually low for such a huge game.


Which they are.

Stop trying to create something that simply isn't there ...

A. Who careswhat "fan" it's from.

B. With 10 weeks left, the claim that it's :"sad, sad" are premature.

C. Take your own advice on your last sentence. And stop accusing people of things that you, yourself, do.

A. Ooh yeah it matters. The sentiment is completely different, your whole defensive first post comes across as people bashing the game. He clearly wasn't just upset at sales.

B. Most games on the list are seeing rises, just look at Fable III above it ....

C. I'm pretty spot on with my post thank you. ONE person posts something and you go on about "all the GT doom and gloom" ... really?

Well, since I couldn't care less for the labels, I'll stick to my point. This isn't the only place I see this stuff for the game. Most of the time, I shrug it. However, as pointed out, the game is still 10 weeks away, and there aren't any concrete expectations for it, at least not in the States. If there were, and the game was failing to reach them, I'd get the comments towards it.

Besides that though, why do you care so much?

It's not a "label" for starters, different fans have different sentiments. Some Xbox troll coming in saying "oooh low Gt sales ... " is very different to a PS3 fan saying it. I thought that'd be obvious :S

Ya you're right, I only see this stuff here too. You're not helping though, nobody had really even spoken about doom and gloom for GT up until your post, and tbh as the weeks get closer, and the other games rise and GT5 remains stalemate, you're going to have to get use to certain comments.

This is America Pre orders, so if anyone does comment on possible low opens, and sluggish sales, it's not anything to do with it's WW sales just America ... though I'm sure you get this.
