NOV 27 isn't black friday

I know but if it release then

as SONY will release around that time.

so stop yapin and get your predictions in

so every aspect of your opening post is wrong

not only is it not announced or confirmed yet, but that date isnt black friday...

ok.. carry on.

which day do game usually release on in the US..? the 27th is a Saturday and the stores will be recovering (rebuilding) following black friday.

yeah, unless they ship the game out before black friday, this isn't going to happen. Stores don't receive product on black friday weekend (they don't have the room or manpower to receive product). So, if Sony ships it early and for some reason doesn't let retailers sell it on black friday ( which is stupid) then this could happen.

as far as week 1 predictions, if we are assuming these reports are accurate... are we just counting the one day worth of sales?

Looking at the preorders, Gran Turismo 5 is at 250k on November 6, 2010. Reading the comments about pre-orders and first week sales from ioi, very few games sell double the amount of their preorders in the first week. I hold Gran Turismo 5 to the same standard. Here is my NA prediction for Gran Turismo week 1:

425,000

uncharted 2 almost did

the reason why pre-orders are low is cause people don't know its releasing as no ads plus so many years have passed

when people get to know it then they could be really interested in it

and also give your lifetime NA prediction

I had 2nd thoughts considering we are still 2 weeks out and it is more than conceivable for GT5 to get 100k more in preorders. I stand by my first week prediction.

Lifetime NA = 3 million

I believe GT5 will be bundled and if it is patched to be playable with Move, then it will have legs long into the early portion of the PS4's lifespan. Yes, my first week sales are low because I am factoring in all the other to be released games and other gems released earlier in the year. However, when Sony bundles GT5 it will catch fire.

It would be more, but I don't know if Sony can ride with GT5 as long as they did GT3. The thing to watch is Nintendo's 2010 holiday sales, if they are the same as last year or lower, then I expect for Nintendo to release a Wii 2 in holidays 2012 or early 2013. I predict Nintendo will be the first to release a new console because of the lagging sales of the Wii in comparison to the rock steady sales for both the PS3 and 360.

Then again, I could be dead wrong and Nintendo may use sales from the 3DS to hold off on releasing a new console until 2014 or later.

alls fine

i was just worried that you might have two predictions in mind with bundling and non-bundling

as as sony would bundle so i suggested you give the bundled sales figure

i think 720 too could be launched in 2012,a last month we were think MS is all on top but after the adjustments PS3 was all over and sales are decreasing from the redesign boost.360 might come back to its old sales path,if not for kinect.(lets see how this weird holidays go by).everybody has many problems and alot of boosts happening too

I can't give a bundled figure for the 1st week, though I will be shell shocked if it has been delayed to be specifically bundled. Bundled first week or a month or two later, I am still sticking to my original 1st week sales and lifetime for the Americas.

i was mentioning bundle for lifetime sales only

if bundled on black friday then it will be big

but mostly not happening like in EU

Bundled lifetime WW sales = 10 million

Bundled liftime NA sales = 4 million

My bundled includes non-bundled sales for both NA and WW. I am sticking with these. I am also sticking with 425k first week in NA.

If it really releases on Black Friday week I'd give it 900k FW sales and around 4,5-5M lifetime in America

it can release any day of the week

so predict
