Forums - Sony - Analysis of GT5's Japan sales

darthdevidem01 on 02 December 2010

Excellent find CGI

I don't think many of us even realized GT5 had less says on the shelf than some of the other GT's in Week 1 for Japan.

Hopefully we see a strong 2nd week!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

So now we have:

JP: 430k
EMEAA: 470k (UK plus Spain plus Italy)

TOTAL: 900k in just 4 countries.

I mentioned in the other thread, unless it's a translation error it actually says 'over 100k'. Not entirely sure how that would translate in PR speak. I would assume somewhere between 100k-110k.

100,001 is as much "over 100,000" as 1,000,000.

So whenever someone say "over xxxx" i assume that is the real number of importance, as they use to take the greater number they can.

"oltre 100 mila copie in una sola settimana" -> If my Portuguese is of any help it really says over 100k

Yes i know (altought in flea market they had the game since 26th)...

Also i bought the game for 40 pounds, more or less 110 reais, and our official price will be 200 reais.

And the other games i bought were really cheap 6 games for 120 reais.

With 13 reais for delivery i basically bought 7 games for the RRP of one in Brazil.

 

EDIT: www.game.co.uk if you want to check the nice deals they have (4~6 days for delivery)

Mordred11 on 02 December 2010

Great analysis.Hopefully GT5's second week will be bigger than the other GT games's.



Notorius.A.i.G on 02 December 2010

Didn't realize that until now. But I still believe GT5 will reach 1 Million lifetime in Japan !!!
