What the hell happened to Epic Mickey!? 23k, 49th place O_o

Wii and DS straight gangbusters!

GT5 is looking at 2m first week and will probably help PS3 steal this week from 360.

Assassin"s Creed Brotherhood for PS3 easily passes 360 which I find extremely strange. 360 version usually has a good lead on the PS3's. It's never able to close the gap yet it mysteriously starts selling better on PS3 ...

look at just dance 1 numbers

Yeah,but what opponent did just dance have?Exactly,none.When people look at GT5's score,they will see that NFS:HP and Forza 3 have higher reviews,and what will they do,in the most probable case?Choose them over GT5.

That may not make a big difference,but it still has a small impact.

then look at just dance 2 numbers then :P dance central has a higher meta score and was still beaten

Stupid comparison, DC is on a new platform, by the end of this holiday it'll have a 5 million install base to sell to, Just Dance will have 16 times that.

I get your point, but I don´t think user base matters that much. A game can still sell well despite the user base. It has been proven before.

Depends on the franchise and the scale of the previous games numbers. GT4 ect were bought by a lot of casual PS2 users, that have more than likely moved onto Wii or 360. Very few will jump over for an 85 rated sim when they can get 2 90 plus rated ones on 360.

Like the casuals who buy call of duty would be swayed by slightly less than expected reviews right? Come on.  Most of them don't care about reviews.  If anything that hurts the core purchases more.  Name goes for a lot, GT is know to be the best. 

They care when they can get 2 BETTER sims on 360 rather than 1 good sim on PS3 .. ya they care :-S couple that with the obvious fact 360 is most likely to attract PS2 users this gen.

GT5 numbers sound a little bit off.

GREAT 2nd week for AC:B

LOL, where is forza 3? xD

Epic Mickey, BOMB.

Kinect Adventures is doing GREAT.

Just Dance 2 = OUTSTANDING!

 

guys, i think you're overreacting too much over GT5.


Forza 3 is below GT5P perhaps will be lower than GT PSP

I'm a bit disappointed with the PS3 sales. I knew the Wii would outsell the PS3 WW in GT5 week, but I thought the PS3 would've had the lead in EMEAA at least.

Well considering even the "bad" reviews basically unanimously said GT5 was the best SIM in existence, I don't see what you mean.  Yes, 360 has more users right now.

Neither the PS3 or 360 are as high as I thought they would be considering GT5, Kinect and the holidays.

Is it too much to ask to separate out trackable Europe from EMEAA?  EMEAA has just so wildly inconsistent over the years, requiring significant adjustments and far too many 'regions' that have a much higher margin of error.

Take him up on it, let's see how Forza 3 compares with GT5 in the coming weeks/months. I mean, if the reviews dictate everything now, why hasn't Uncharted 2 passed Gears 2 in sales? Why go for Black Ops when Halo Reach is higher on Meta, right?

Sounds ridiculous to me, especially regarding franchises with brand names like Gran Turismo.

Excuse me? Where did I say I expect Forza to beat GT5 ROLF, and thanks for the very obvious comparisons. I said Forza would steal SOME sales (actually I didn't even say that, but I am now)

There's more where they came from. And someone said I, moi, have to something to be disapponted with? If those aren't the most "lol-worthy" posts, I don't know what is!

That might actually be funny if it came from reputable regular users we know and trust here, but alas, whatever floats your boat.

every crazy prediction comes for nonreputable regular users, even though it still is funny. one thing i have noticed here is that the expectations of others influence others, hence when the high expectations arent met some people consider it a flop, same happaned with reach and now its happening with gt5. the sales of both of these games are surprising and it was very hard for people to have accurate predictions, as a site our average for the first 10 weeks of reach is about 7.3 we were one million of the mark, similar things are happening to gt5.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Some people might care, but I think most won´t. I think most GT buyers are GT fans rather than racing sim fans.

maybe the sales won´t be as lage as in the past, but I don´t think they will be down by much either.
