Me I think GT5 is going to do badly for the first few weeks, say 3 million in sales by december but I reckon it will have legs and end up selling 7 million lifetime. People should never go by pre orders from online retailers because Play.com had many games in there number 1 position that sold badly worldwide. Differant regions like differant games. Also some people shouldn't expect hugh sales from GT5 because they could be letting themselfs in for a hugh disappointment.

 

Now somebody point the way to sonys offices so I can smack the shit out of there marketing guys. 3 weeks til launch and still no advertising. WTF!


gt5 will pass 2million first week, anyone who cant work that out really shouldnt be on this site playing sales. i mean it is just so fraking obvious to anyone who can read.

GT5 has the Top Gear test track, you can't get any better promotion than that in the U.K. for a racing game no matter what you try. This game is going to be huge in Europe.

I'd like to make a bet on that, even in America it won't do anything lower than 500k. 2m in the first week is a given, probably 3m in the first two.

Some yahh kids lacks logic. 

Prologue did 400k in Europe... in a day, 1 million in 2 weeks world wide.

GT5s numbers arent that hard to figure out.

i too would lke a bet, over 2 million first week is just gonna happen and thats that.



Spankey on 12 October 2010

would have been good for UK sales if they could tie in GT5 launch with Top Gear 16th season...unfortunately BBC delayed Top Gear till early next year - hopefully SCE won't do the same for GT5

still, should be a good to excelent first week in EU at least
