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.

Fallout 3 is on PC too

Hummmmm...

EU: 3.5M shipped = 2.5M sold.
US: 1.5M shipped = 1M sold.
JP: 1M shipped = 500k sold.

Still missing 1 million units.


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'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.

GoW 3 sold 40k first week in Brazil... maybe 50-70k LT.

GT5 is bigger than GoW here.

And Brazil is just 5% of the gaming market in Latin America.

I really hope Sony's outreach to all these smaller markets while Nintendo and MS don't pays off later on.  Would be awesome.

Yeah but it STILL hasn't sold that 5 Million launch shipment.....it surely took at least 4 - 5 months

And GT series is known for its legs too BTW

@Postofficebuddy

I totally agree

and especially regarding PS3....because previously in those regions Playstation system software sales were majorly hampered due to piracy.

With PS3 there is no piracy thats why its safe to assume these usual big franchise games *should* be performing better than ever in those regions

See GTA San Andreas weekly sales right now

All those software sales are coming from these smaller countries which combined are creating significant legs for the game

Before the "Expansion packs" were released for PS3's GTA4......PS2 GTA:SA was outselling it weekly again.

SONY's reach in the smaller markets is surely paying off, and as those markets get bigger now it will help even more.

I'll say the same thing I said in the other thread that referenced that same exact story--

why are we trusting a random blog that only has three stories that uses a forum post as its source?

That's cool and funny.

Their first and last shipment :D


LMAO

I was drinking my fruit punch when i read this..

wtf.. ;(



 

 

whatever on 14 October 2010

LOL.  Sony is such a bunch of f#%kups.  Your going to delay the launch of the your biggest game and only major holiday release because about 10 people might have this pirate software??  When most people would have gotten the update via download anyways?  Are you kidding me???
