Can VGC track India? Cause the game seems to be big there (midnight launch). In fact I think that until Polyphony posts the sales on their website, GT5 will be undertracked in EMEAA.

Vgchartz is rarely right but they are usually close enough, funny though if Vgchartz said they predict 4.4-4.6 million opening then youd be all over it.

So thats another thing going to proving it wont open to 4.5 million. And if it holds then even if GT5 was lucky enough to have the same legs as GT4 it wont be hitting 9 million and we all know most games alot more frontloaded than before so my 7 million is looking pretty good i gotta say.

Exactly. If anyone has noticed, racing games are not as in demand as they used to be. I'm sure that GT5 is a very good game, but people don't buy racing games like they used to.

Forget about GT and Mario Cart and no racing game EVER has even gotten close to 10m in sales.

So just when did they sale so much ?

Were racing games ever in high demand. If anything, the demand is growing.

Mario Kart Wii is the best selling Mario Kart. The franchise is growing.

Forza 2 has outsold Forza1 and Forza 3 will outsell Forza 3. The franchis is growing.

The only series in a downfall is N4S and that's because of year by year mediocre releases. The franchise has probably reached it's peak but it's definitely improving compared to recent iterations.

Burnout 5 is going to be the best selling in the series. I have no doubt it'll sell another 500k to catch Burnout 3. The Franchise is growing.

As for Gran Turismo 5, I'ts not going to be the best in the series, but it will sell big. It wil be bundled greatly and it's sales won't stop until GT6 and/or PS4 releases. 

I take you are unaware about VGs history of undertracking PS3 games, ask the others about Uncharted adjusments. 

Little Big planet is in its 108th week, it sold 18k last week.

GTA4 133rd week on PS3 alone it just sold 22.5k

Mario Kart 136th week, 80.5k

Forza 3 in 56th week, 62k

Uncharted 2 in 57th week, 24k

Ohh yahh no legs this gen. 

I'm sorry, if you insist on playing grammar police, at least consider these points;

Capital "I" in first person form at all times.

"Which i already knew that" is hardly a good sentence to post when correcting others and "lol"ing at their efforts.

" when something like MW2 which everyone knows was far more hyped then GT5 only did 1.65" You add a space before the comma as well as after, which is incorrect use of punctuation and you forego the use of a comma after "MW2" and before "only".

You missed the capital B in "Black Friday" but somehow remembered the capital F.

"Won't" is written with an apostrophe, unless you meant the actual word "wont" which is something entirely different and would be wildly out of context.You make the same mistake twice in one sentence and miss yet another comma after "You wont be here after black friday though". You also constrict "wasn't" into "wasnt" farther up.

You also constrict "wouldn't" into "wouldnt" with no apostrophe and miss with the use of "your" when it should say "you're".

Lastly, definitely is definitely not spelled "definitley".

If you want to be smart, try to at least be smarter than the subject you "lol" at.

PS: English is my second language and it took me two minutes to find all those errors. If you simply miss a key, there is an edit function.

PPS: Yes, I am being a bit of an ass now but I'm only making a point.

Sorry thats just nitpicking, mispelling words and being too lazy to add apostrophes arnt the same thing.

Its also predictable, i already knew someone was gonna mention "oh you said wouldnt when its actually wouldn't, maybe before correcting people you should get it right yourself" that usual routine, happens everytime.

I take you are unaware about VGs history of undertracking PS3 games, ask the others about Uncharted adjusments. 

Man, you sure do alot of assuming, no i knew that already, anyway "you seem to be unaware of..." no i probably already know. Things get undertracked, things get overtracked, but nothing has ever been off by an entire 2 million.

Vgchartz estimated week 1 for MW2 the biggest game of all time pretty early and they were only off by 700,000-800,000 9they overpredicted it)

The estimate for GT5 of 1.8-2.2 million could end up being 2.5 million, maybe they could be really off and it could be 3 million (though thats very very unlikely) but its not gonna end up being 4.5 million they arnt gonna be off by over 2 million.

GT5 will probably sell 700k in NA week one. 2 Million in EMEAA week one and 600k japan week one. I know im about to get flamed but I think it might end up doing 3.5-4 million week one. Why??? India, Middle East, etc. Just look at the population of India. Over 1 billion people. Lets say about 1% of the population owned a ps3 and maybbe 10% of that number bought GT5. Thats maybe 1 million copies sold. Same with Middle East. Maybe the "overshipped" PS3s are just going to INdia and those hard to track areas? This is the 1st midnight launch India has had. There needs to be a reason for that and I tink it is the sales.

If even 1% of India had a PS3 then thats 10 million PS3s, according to Vgchartz theyve sold 3.5 million PS3s across Asia (not Japan), Africa and Middle East.

So if 10% of Indian PS3 owners bought GT5 on day 1 that wouldnt even equal 200,000 copies for the game.
