LOL LOL LOL thats pathetic for GT5, thats a awful week 1 on Black Friday aswell. And people actually thought this game was gonna get the PS3 to have a 1 million week aswell, its not even gonna be 800,000.

I told you all the game would disappoint but nooooo i was trolling under 2 million week 1 was "laughable" and "ridiculous" well its gonna open to about 2.03 million not so ridiculous now is it. Sony fanboys always over hype PS3s exlusives people genuinely thought this could surpass GT3. Itll easily be the worst selling GT game of the 5 and will never come close to 10 million.

What a failure.


making an alt just to troll?


And to rub it in everyones faces that yet again i was right and all the Sony fanboys were wrong. I said GT5 could open to under 2 million week 1 and everybody thought that was laughable, not anymore it isnt.

Some fool said itd do 4.5 million week 1 but as i expected hes run off in shame.

Of course, peoplehere seem to ban me but not realise it takes me less than 2 minutes to sign up again.

In that case, maybe we should recommend an IP Ban


Way ahead of you.

But you just have one post when you posted this.  Alternate account...?

Of course, peoplehere seem to ban me but not realise it takes me less than 2 minutes to sign up again.

So is it really worth it for a potential perma ban just because you just have to express your love for sales numbers over the love of gaming...?

The fact that it had less sales than some expected please explain why. What proof is there besides not meeting some PS3 estimates.

Because of a few reasons.

Uncharted 2
LittleBigPlanet
God of War 3
God of War Collection
A few more games...

All were in Black Friday bundles very similar to the ones from last year. The bundles from last year saw the games increase considerably in sales, with some boosting a games sales by up to 100k units. This year, the games barely increased at all, none of them topping 15k units despite PS3 hardware increasing by over 200% for the week... Which just screams out that there is a problem with the tracking of those bundled titles.

It sounds reasonable so it sounds like you question the methodology use for USA?

For all we know, GT5 could be undertracked in NA. Just look at some other PS3 software titles that had bundles and only sold 7 - 8k on BF week.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

And yes. I'm questioning this weeks tracking of certain games in the NA Area.

As I said in the other thread.

This would only be true of there were 9 Million PS2's sitting on store shelves.
