Again, GT5 wasn't overtracked in the preview. *sigh*


Well D-Joe said this figure included the bundle, so if that's true it kind of is, by quite a lot!


Wow actually no I take that back. It's overtracked regardless because The Source separated the main edition and the limited edition in his preview. So yeah. Overtracked.

-.-

You must be doing it on purpose.

I'm correcting you on purpose? I guess I am as you tried to correct me first!

Well what you are doing is called flamebait and you could get banned.

PS3 software and hardware WAY overtracked in the preview.

The Source showing his regular Sony bias as usual, etc etc etc.

 

Seriously though, very impressive Wii sales! Not far off PS3 during GT5 week!!!!

I doubt he'd listen anyway.

Really though, I need to re-read that preview. I thought he said, initially, 530k. Perhaps it was adjusted

The low end prediction was at 416k and the high end was at 513k. Anything between is not overtracked nor undertracked.

Seriously this!

Why is this so hard to see fwap?

lolol @ fwap!

Yeah...lolol @ fwap!!

So uhhh VGChartz...that 10% errors getting up closer to 30% lately...what's goin on? :/


I don't remember anyone giving a number like that for the Japan Preview which isn't final sales but a guesstimate of what's going to happen.


And I'd say the guesstimates are pretty good overall. PS3 and Mario Sports Mix where a bit high but the preview wasn't that far off on GT5 and it pretty much nailed Super Robot Taisen L (only ~1k difference!).

What was the expected GT5 boost for PS3?

For me 90-110k... way off.

But 70k is a great boost too... not amazing.

Source just can't win!


When he's low on PS3, Sony fans spit venom.  Now, it seems even when he's optimistic on PS3, Sony fans spit venom.

Poor, The Source.

I dunno, he sure doesn't look like a sony fan to me

I expected 78K ....basically about how much it did in MGS4 launch week

Source expected much more.

I'm actually beginning to wonder, did MC really track the bundled sales? The preview seems too far off from this.

If it's 430k without bundles, that would make more sense (albeit, still being 36k lower than the preview).

yes they track the bundled sales,and GT5 number include PS3 bundle

You tried to sound me out for being incorrect about something, so I proved to you otherwise. My first post was a joke at the constant meme in these threads to disappreciate The Source and his previews whenever specific consoles are overtracked/undertracked.

Now calm down.



The preview was expecting like 100k or sumthing....unless it was changed its WAY off.

GT5 seems fine to me undertracked or not.



So last year corresponding week.
PS3 jumped from 32K to 43K (VGC, Media Create should be similiar)

So PS3 jumped from 28K to 68K and about 10K of that would have happened anyway. 

So looks like GT5 boosted hardware in Japan by 30K.  Was that what you were hoping for?  I dont think so.  Looks like the hardware boost for GT5 has been happening all along during the life of the PS3.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
