Use the roller wheel on your mouse...go down the page....see preliminary sales table in Japan preview.....realise Boutros was correct.


Jesus... I'm really done talking about this now.

Those figures DON'T include BUNDLED sales... MC DO include BUNDLED sales.

Can we change the topic now?

Like I said before I don't disrespect The Source, there wouldn't be about 10 replies from me on this subject if people weren't constantly trying to tell me I'm wrong or that I'm foolish. In fact I really don't like how people have constantly disrespected The Source in threads before this one (even people associated with the website!) and think that it is something that shouldn't be tolerated at all.

Some people cant just quit. The source may not be well known like Mr. Patcher but he has been right plenty more times IMO. And there is a reason we call it a preview and not the final thing. Its supposed to indicate a figure based on early estimates.. Good Job Source always, even if the preview may have been off on GT5 but who knows when all trackers are aligned as Forest-Spirit said, the preview might be spot on.

Oh, f'crying out loud. EVERY. FUCKING. WEEK. Can't we have a single Japan sales thread without people bitching about the Japan preview being off? It's just a preview, a guestimate. We don't guarantee that it's accurate; rather, it's what our analyst (TheSource) predicts based on trends and historical data. And frankly, he's still more accurate than some of the other analysts that some members here orgasm over at the mention of their name.

If this keeps up, there WILL be bans. It's getting to the point where I don't like coming into the Japanese sales threads because it's always the same thing. Unless you want to start making weekly predictions every week before any numbers are released, I don't want to see it anymore. Hell, if someone really wants to take me up on that, I'll be willing to crunch the numbers and give accuracy rates on everyone participating. It won't be prediction league quality, but it may be interesting...

There should have been bans a long time ago, that childish attitude is really unbearable.

Are you really questioning the Media Create figures? This is pure damage control, I hope you're just joking.


Wait, I'm not doing any damage control here. <_< I couldn't care less about GT5 and I don't even own a PS3.

It's just that I've seen so many times now people going bananas over VGChartz numbers not being exactly like MC. Last week MC had PS3 above Wii while VGChartz switched them for the weekly report, and some people started questioning the VGC data. There are two other trackers out there that I do know of, though I honestly have no idea which one is the more reliable.

lol keep trying dude.

Guys fwap is right. GT5 was overtracked in the preview.

The preview said low end of 416,000 copies NOT INCLUDING BUNDLED COPIES.


Oh crap, I just opened up the preview for the 3rd time wondering what the heck he was talking about and now I realised I hadn't clearly read through the article and I mistook the Limited version for the bundled game. <_<

Reading comprehension, I have failed thee!

BTW that's getting really old, darth.

I was incorrect? About what?


You said GT5 wasn't overtracked in the preview. It was.


GT5 did fall within the range estimated by the Preview.

And, please read my previous comment. With just one tracker it's far to early to say what the final numbers will look like.

These MC figures include bundled sales.

Use the roller wheel on your mouse...go down the page....see preliminary sales table in Japan preview.....realise Boutros was correct.

TheSource was spot on

"PS3 Software - Gran Turismo 5 sold 466,000 units stand-alone copies, as stated above. Throw in the software bundled with hardware and the game likely sold over 530,000 copies week one."

I'd say it was overtracked.

Nice numbers on the Wii, I thought that the gap was going to be bigger. Now we just have to wait for the numbers.
