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.

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.


Guilty of charge, i Have all GT's but don't like other sims, sometimes i play F1 or NFS, but never find it as exciting and difficult.


gt made me like racing games, but for some reason the only racing games i get hooked to are gt, and burnout :P



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

I have never said every single game moves hardware. But I'd love some proof if it's true.

I will look.  I think it was either in a Halo Reach thread or something around that time frame.  I wish you could search GamrConnect but the search function only looks up users for me...

So what's the big deal if he said it?What are you guys,like 5 or something?Maybe he forgot,he's a human,we all do mistakes...

People can make mistakes, although I'm positive that isn't one I made. But, you have to understand that when you're a vocal individual, especially as vocal as me, you'll always have your share doubters, people that don't like you, or disbelievers. Not necessarily nightsurge (because I usually get along with him fine, and he is an actual friend of mine), but others.

Only bothers me when people aren't honest/unsure of what you may have said/done. Otherwise, I don't mind it, there's plenty else this site offers outside of that kind of stuff, which is why I'm here.

Far as I'm concerned, GT5 did well, and the main 3 consoles all look healthy at this point.

God damn, why did it take 40 million pages to reach this post.  lol *facepalm* Gotta love the internetz.

X360 & PS3 undertracked. Will be waiting for PD shipped copies anouncment next month to see if GT5 is undertracked or not.

And why the Wii isn't undertracked? Is it because it is in first?


It's because everybody allready have a Wii and all number from now on are just shipped that will never be sold.

My guess is that now on it'll start selling negative numbers and then the PS3 will finnaly be the first in the generation by the end of 2011.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Read my edit, I have said that certain games/franchises will usually move hardware, or have moved hardware. But, you will be hard pressed to find a single post where I said "every game that comes out moves hardware". That doesn't even make sense. >_>

Altought a game should be realllllllly bad so noone ever buy a console because saw it and wanted to play it... mostly casual...

I stand corrected... GT made me like GT, the others i play while i'm figuring out how to beat a damn challenge...

I must try Burnout, never were much into 300mph in a city, but everyone is saying much about it that i must at least try and see if i like.
