I don't buy that one bit. There are only a couple hundred thousand preorders in NA. EU will obviously have way more, but no where near enough to justify 7 million for launch. IMO, GT5 will be one of the lowest selling GT games to date, selling only 7-8 million lifetime (and I use the word "only" very lightly here obviously!).

It's just a vague feeling I have. I can't really support it with tons of evidence or anything and I'm no where near confident enough to bet on that, so don't ask

If Fallout 3 could ship 5 Million at launch

GT5 for sure can ship 7 Million at launch......it has much more hype and interest than Fallout 3 ever had.

Except Fallout 3 is multiplat so that makes 2.5 mil shipped per console.

And it reached 5 Million combined over 6 months to a year after its launch.....so that shipment lasted a looooong time.

Being multiplat doesn't change the point I'm making

Fallout 3 has sold 5.6 Million LTD......5 Million of that was shipped at launch and its gonna be 2 years since its launch very soon.

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

You miss asia, South america, middle east. Lol.

He does and GT is very popular in those reasons

and to add PS3 isn't hacked "by a statistically significant amount" yet so GT5 will be the best selling GT game in the South America, Middle East, Asian regions (India, china, singapore and so on)

I won't be too sure about China. That country is a pirate's den and also I heard consoles are banned in China. They only sold it at black market although I am not sure about it though.

From what you said in the thread so far you sounded to me like you expected GT5 to sell through that 7 Million shipment in December itself

What I was trying to tell you is that a launch shipment doesn't necessarily have to be sold right away.

I've been saying that for months now. People on this site need to get out of the mindset that those regions aren't statistically important. If GT5 sells 500k-600k between Canada and Latin America do they really expect it to sell less than GT4 in Americas? And another 300k in Asia? Views are just skewed because VGC doesn't have any meaningful SW tracking in those regions. We're likely undertracking FFXIII in Asia by a fair bit as well, and don't even get me started on Demon's Souls. BTW in regards to the Fallout 3 sell-through, are you forgetting the PC version?

Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4
