@Prophecy, drop it man, don't bother. He is too egangsta to listen to reason -_- I have given up


what is there to listen to when people just ramble on with there bias?


Irony much? fact of the matter is people make predictions, some are higher than the outcome...doesn't mean 'everyone' or even 'many' said it and hoped it would come true. that's all there is to it, nothing more nothing less. This is a useless argument eitherway

you are right, and i was done with it, until prophecy had to come in here running that mouth- and for 4 years i have been hearing from sony guys about how forza was trash and just wait for gt5 it will be the best and SO many people are going to buy a ps3 for this game and gt5 will sell 15 million and blah blah blah....well now it is out and aint SHIT going on with sales, a SMALL little ass bump in sales and what 2 million worldwide....defently NOT what it was hyped to be or do.

Forget the sales... GT5 is so much better than Forza 3... it's in another level... best sim racing ever.

And don't compare reviews scores for differents games... if GT5 had another name would receive perfect score in most of current reviews.

that is so untrue, Gamespot the most unbiased source for reviews on the web gave GT5 a 8, after a full week with the game after the release date, they gave Forza 3 a 9.5......that is a huge difference and what about the fact that 800 cars have 0 cockpit view and look like ps2 models from gt4, also the online in Forza 3 is MILES better

Now I agree... that you wrote is so untrue.

Gamespot will give a 10.0 if GT5 named anything else... like all others reviews... read the review first because all of them said GT5 was miles of concorrence and it was the best sim racing on market.

But Forza is not a sim racing so...

what in the heck are you talking about, they docked points from gt5 for recycling cars from gt4 with no visual upgrade and other things, also i c that you didnt argue against my point of gt5 having inferior online to Forza 3.

Read the review again: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/driving/granturismo52/review.html

"This is undoubtedly the biggest and best Gran Turismo yet, and despite its impressive level of realism it's also the most accessible..."

"If you love to drive, Gran Turismo 5 is a game that you're sure to enjoy..."

"This is simultaneously the most accessible GT game yet and the most uncompromisingly realistic driving game on a console to date."

It's another level... it's not Arcade racing.. it's a true horsepower sim racing... and all reviews said the same thing.

Also, Taiko Drum Master 3 on Wii is way low. Kinda surprised considering how well the series has sold before.

According to VGCs number the first week was nearly identical to the first week of the last game. The  last game opened with 29,929,and is at 397,535 now.

Yes, but traditionally, sequels on the same console open higher and have lower legs. This is due to the existing fanbase already there to pick up the new entry whenever it releases. There are always exceptions, it just seems really low.

It is low but this is a music game, isn't it? Just look at what happens to music game sequels worldwide these days, even though they are coming on the same consoles..

Just awful for GT5. Japanese games sales are just like American album album sales these days. A few massive hits here and there and everyone else crashes and burns. From now on I'm not expecting anything from this region.

Damn, never underestimate the power of Monster Hunter in Japan I guess.. I can't believe the strength of the PSP in Japan comapred to the other markets. I guess that's the effect of having Monster Hunter on your platform, and the usual strength of handhelds over consoles as of late over there..

Wii doing respectable numbers, and still no DKC. While I don't think the game will have as big an impact on sales as in the West, it should still help boost more consoles along with the usual holiday boost. Good to see Kirby hanging around on the charts.

Wii should continue to further separate itself from the PS3 through the holidays, until next year when the two consoles should remain at a stalemate, most weeks, with probably a slight edge to PS3. Though Last Story and DQX should give the Wii major boosts. I still find it odd that the Wii's weakest territory is Japan while its strongest is the US. Back before it was released I thought it would be the opposite.
