Yeah, I think I was wrong and everyone else is right....this is lifetime sales prediction (which I think may actually be a little low)....I'll adjust my first week prediction and say 125,000-150,000 between disc & download.

I get the feeling this is lifetime?

Also why do people say LTD when referring to expected lifetime sales? Doesn't LTD stand for 'Life to date' so for any unreleased game LTD is automatically 0?
Or have I got my acronyms wrong again?

Ya, I agree Rath. Selling 250k would be beyond amazing, but it isn't happening.

Also, I guess people LTD meaning overall lifetime. Ive done it before too.

LTD means "life to date", you are correct. People using it to mean "Lifetime" are simply wrong.

Are the downloadables going to be updated in the database here? I don't see it there for Warhawk, hence why I ask.

Well I dont expect prologues sales to be high ... but GT5s will deffinatly be :D

The better question is do you guys expect it to sell a lot of PS3´s?

I´m not sure here: It is Gran Turismo but it is "prologue"... Personally I wouldn´t buy a console because of a demo but rather wait until next year when the true game is released.

Opinions?

This week's release of the game

■ PS3: "Gran Turismo 5 prologue stickers with"

This week's games market is the focus of PS system.
Among other things, a hard-driving as a killer title initial 400,000-scale sales expected to be"Gran Turismo 5 prologue" is the PS3's blitz at the end of the important one.

Distribution from the side to put it in perspective, and download version of the simultaneous release of a package. How users can download version to choose whether to have an interest.
SCE's first goal of the package version of 250,000 books, download 50,000 downloads.

WARHAWK。 Incidentally, the ordinary selling title first supposed to be, but suddenly changed and became only download.

"WARHAWK", in November at about 9000 download that.
Prices for the package version of 4,980 yen (tax included) and download version is 4,500 yen (tax included).

"GT5P" was released in accordance with a ready-made distribution in the sale of prepaid cards would be started.
Worrisome download capacity, but the "prologue" to do is not much larger, 20-gigabyte version of the user reassurance to the good.
Add a deluge if 400,000 scale are achievable, but Okay.

Well that is what I managed to translate, if anyone was unable to read it. :)

Lifetime? That seems overly pessimistic to me. GT is a huge title WW. Ahh well, we'll see, I think most people will download it though, unless there's extra content to be had from buying it retail.

140 - 160k copies first week...
life time would be around 500k
