soo gt5 first week should be more? or is it like that because it doesnt include frances numbers?


it very much should be

we will get more accurate number next month when Polyphony's site is updated

 

VGC itself estimated more than what is has now,the estimate was 2.4-2.5m and VGC admitted of having problems tracking some regions where SONY sold during the adjustments over the last quarter



i don't blame VGC. for undertacking GT5 (and PS3 sells for that matter) sells cause lets face it its not easy. gamers gused on a forum while VGC. is doing there best to track them so yea snake ur on the money bud.

totally agree with ya

 

the site does  an awesome job and its one of the few

 

but at the same time people start making comparision and bad mouthing it.that isn't fair

 

for example many people compare ps3 usually to 360 cause of all the console wars

and as we know 360 makes most of its sales in US and other highly modernized countires where it is also easy to track but PS3 sells in more diverse places where the tracking isn't good so its tracked sales are  lower than the what they should be

so this makes the comparision a little unfair and the last quarter PS3 had to bear this as SONY's own numbers and VGC's numbers were way different

i was 1 of the first to come to VGC defence the first time and me understanding the situation(as you and some people here do) i'd defend them all over again. how many searches does google get wrong? ?

heres a pic of me waiting for next yrs adjusment; well not really me, but you get the point lol:

no. i just felt i had to add something at the end, and it was more of a downplay as to i haven't heard anyone complain about google getting searches wrong and patcher just poped into my head?

i need to retract that patcher thing.



Undertracked?!? Again!?! XBox 360 sells in the same countries as the PS3. So if the PS3 is undertracked so would the XBox 360. If GT5 is undertracked, it can't be by much. 40K-50K maybe.  I still don't see it selling more then 7 million lifetime.

both the comparisions were not needed

for google,its a  computer,it just searches depending on the words which can be wrong alot of time as no AI is so good to understand what exactly a human wants,not even us humans can understand other humans needs

and about,pachter,he is actually a pretty good guy,if you follow pach attack,he talks sense based on the current market.it is just that people only quote his bad lines and put them as titles of their news pages

ps3 sells in around 35 countries and 360 sells around 25(i could be alightly wrong but there is surely a difference)

 

and along with ps3,ps2 and psp are running too so they kinda have more sales  with more presence in those countries

 

you can just see the sales of 360 in NA,NA  alone has almost same sales as all other 360 markets so the tracking seems to be better as NA is pretty modernized
