Funny how they announced a delay a few days after the pre-order numbers comes out.

They should have already finalized the game in September

And Polyphony Digital should come back to reality

The boost GT5 will give to PS3 sales will be way higher, and I think it's pretty much sure that GT5's first week will be much better. The reason for that is simple: it has almost NO competition in December. Games like CoD and Assassin's Creed all release in November and each of those games which release around the same time have potential to steal at least a few sales of GT5.

Actually, my first week prediction is more reasonable now than it was before the delay.



2012 - Top 3 [so far]

                                                                             #1                                       #2                                      #3

It might come out at the end of November. Polyphony never said it would be coming out in December. They said it would be out for the holiday. So it still might get released in November. I don't think it's going to make much different. When it's released the PS3 will get a decent surge of PS3 sold for a week or two and then it'll be over. Sony really needed The Last Guardian, Killzone 3 and maybe on other exclusive to live the PS3 into the stratosphere. I don't think GT5 can do it alone. We'll see though.

Right around Black Friday would be very smart.

That'd be suicide.  Way too many other deals going on.  GT5 would be overshadowed by other things.

On another note, even if the boost comes later on, that just means the PS3 is going to be down YOY for a few more weeks extra as well so the boost won't really be any bigger/smaller over all.  The PS3 is still going to be far short of their 15 million estimate.
