I must ask why does the PS3 have to be undertracked every single week?

I'm confident on saying because it was undertracked for 2 years.

Yeah and they explained why...now move on...

Does it somehow bother you that the PS3 MIGHT be selling better than what's reported?

I exppect GT5 to be adjusted up when more official numbers come.

I'm sure that will happen.

Would love to hear your theory of how it is under-tracked? :)

Also just noticed GT5 has falled to 20 on amazon chart....

well the 1.8 million in 2 days thing is confusing. vgchartz stated 55% of that is emeaa so 1.00 million. meaning it only sold 150k in the next two days to reach its emeaa launch numbers(4 days of sales)

hope i explained that well enough. something seems off. either the 1.8 million 2 days sales or these numbers. one of them is wrong.

Ok cheers, i missed that. It is a very fair point.

I would hazard a guess then that maybe the preview was wrong. That is just preliminary data after all. As i mentioned in the other post it happened with Japan too. Source said over 500k but it did almost 100k less then that. I guess only ioi can say if it was wrong or not.

exactly, we will have to wait for clarification. luckily PD is very good at putting sales on thier website.

Not at all and if they were undertracked and VGC reports it later I would be fine with it. What does bother me is that every single week people say that PS3 is somehow undertracked which I don't understand. I don't hear people say that 360 or Wii is undertracked...I was just asking why does it HAVE to be undertracked every week when nobody really knows. Yeah we will get adjustments as with all sales(not just video games) but the sales reported are what they gave us and we have to go by that for now.

Someone please answer this question I have...Why does the PS3 have to be undertracked every single week? People post this nearly every single week and I was just curious as to why?

Also as for this thread...why is GT5 undertracked? Its a games 1st week sales like any other game so what makes this one different? Don't even say its because its a big game because so were many Wii and 360 games.

Ok.

First the PS3 have to be undertacked in EMEAA because there are a lot of contries VGC doesn't cover... and the last years prove that PS3 receive massive adjusments from time to time.

But like the lastadjusment is recent I believe PS3 was well tracked here.

Now GT5... official numbers.

UK: 265-275k
Spain: 92k
Italy: over 100k
Finland: over 20k (day one)
India: over 20k

TOTAL: ~500k

So 670k to VGC numbers... now guesses.

France and Germany are the main land for GT sales and both bigger than Italy and UK... but I'm conservative so...

France: ~200k
Germany: ~200k

270k to VGC numbers for all the others countries.

Australia, Portugual, others EU, Asia, Mid-East... all the rest of the world except America and Japan.

Edit - There are the 1 million for 2 days said by VGC before... so just 150k in the others 2 days???

1. VGC already said that the #'s reported early were wrong and off a bit.

2. 150K is easily possible in my opinion.(Could have had stock issues or the people who planned on buying it 1st week got it during release day and day after. Games released during the Holiday's tend to sell throughout and not just week 1.)

So wii still above ps3 eventhough GT5 was release in Emeaa?? niceeeeeeeee

Wii a million this week? And to think that wii was doomed a few weeks ago

Nice numbers all around. But to be honest, I expected more from GT5 (both soft and hardware) maybe some adjustments will come later on (?)

I hope Epic Mickey gets the Sonic boost...

Ah, some big sales this week. GT5 is doing biggy numbers and Mario Kart raced away with the Wii.

It deserves so much more!!

Yep I agree. They should port it to the 360, it'd probably do an extra 500k- 1mil. More people need to play this game! Or they could release a Metal Gear quadrilogy and release it on both PS3 and 360, that'd be a guaranteed success.
