Forums - Sony - GT5 pre orders through the roof

Wondering how long it takes for GT5 to outsell Forza 3 sales so far. GT4 sold 2.5 milion in week one, 4.3M in first month...

2 weeks would be my honest guess, although it might take 3. GT5 Prologue has outsold Forza 3 by almost two million (PD's website says ~5 million sales counting almost 1 million online sales).



Man its gonna be big in EU... Best FW ever for a game in EU??? quite possible!

well,

- this retailer has a deal with Sony and GT5 (I think), so it makes sense they are talking about GT5

- GT5 preorder in PAL are far more important than in US ... expect something quite important there


Ohh what deal is that? 

I pre ordered from there like 18 months ago, but I didn't notice anything special about doing so.

sorry, there is not ...

Do you mean PS3 only? Last year MW2 sold 3.1 million on the PS3/360 in EMEAA first week. (almost 1.5 million on the PS3 alone)

COD:BO numbers aren't up yet, but they should be somewhat higher than MW2's opening week.

ShopTo is my default shopping because delivers to Brazil without problems.

Most of people here (BR) imported games from them.

My second choice is PlayAsia.

I kind of feel sorry for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. It is the best NfS game for ages, yet its going to suffer under GT 5


Not really though, they appeal to slightly different markets where one likes Arcade racers with zero customization and realism and the other the direct opposite. They are very different games, it would be like a Timesplitters game losing sales because of Half-Life (kind of, only even more different). Most GT fans I know get easily bored of Arcade racing and the lack of depth and realism and most Arcade racing fans I know (Burnout, NFS etc) don't appreciate GT for its depth and immersion. There are a few who like both (I do) but these games mostly appeal to different people.

why does that matter?

So on a sales website we aren't supposed to compare sales of games in the same genre??  Oh yeah, it's an anti-360 statement, so of course you would comment.
