This

I'm buying this even though I didn't like GT5:P or Forza 3. I'm am HYPED!

I'm buying this because I like to eat apple and also, I'm ignoring Reach because I hate orange.

arf it cut the text... "7.337 M as the estimate of GT5 unbundled"

(sony thinks they are so l33t with their estimates...)

Good analysis, though it might be slightly different if the GT 3 bundles were taken into account and if the GT 4 number was right... it has sold over 11m

And prologue has sold an extra million

yeah well I used VGC numbers ;op

and for GT4... one could assume part of this is still on shelf, afterall it's a big game and the PS2 is still selling (and yeah 500K extra is a bit much, but the repartition of the sold portion of this kind of fits the trend when looking at their numbers, perhaps even more skewed for EU).

on GT5P however,  their extra million is almost entirely from the EU, which would bring the curve back to the 60% sales based in EU.... All this does however is actually lower the rest of the world estimate to 3 215 Million units, so a drop of 160K in the estimate.

=> 7 168 M units unbundled WW would be the final number then. (less l337)

oh and GT3 bundles? the numbers are the same as poly's...

And actually it might be dropped further because I am fairly sure there was heavy bundling of Prologue in Japan, but 7m seems a good estimate for this first shipment if these French figures are right

Anyway, the game is going to sell loads and that is all that really matters

I'm wondering why it takes 10 pages for smeone to mention the only thing that needs to be said...

Definitive...

Nah it just means sales will make even hell freeze with sheer awesomness :)
