Never heard of them - but hardly a surprise either.  GT5 will sell very well in Europe.  The Sun will also rise in the morning.

You've never heard of ShopTo?

One of the best online gaming retailers, imo.

Usually have the lowest prices around (though not by much).

Speedy delivery - option of free recorded delivery.

Site is easy to navigate, and they have discounts all the time.

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.

I would say there are quite a few people who like a variety of racers, but they don't entirely overlap. Having said that, I certainly don't think Hot Pursuit will get the sales it deserves in comparison to previous NfSs, and I think GT 5 will have some effect at the very least

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...



why does that matter?


Isn't it reasonable to gauge success against the most prominent racer of the gen?

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.


Of course:

It's not even anti 360, it's quite reasonable to compare these two games.

no.. I do like sales comparisons.. but meaningful ones only.. 

the irony is that my comment is actually anti MS.. lol  Forza isnt in the same ball park sales wise as GT. 

Its like comparing Halo and Killzone.

What other racer of this gen can GT5 be compared with then?
