Kinda is though after 3 weeks in Japan its done 500,000, at this rate itll be lucky if it ends up with what GT4 sold in its first week.

And after 2 weeks in US it hasnt sold what GT4 did in its first week despite it being Black Friday and the Holiday season.

Ginyu told you.

NA - 657,460 with 2 weeks
JP - 484,336 with 2 weeks

That is a failure? So 99% os games released are a failure?

If Modern Warfare 3 came out and sold 2 million in one week, itd be higher than most games will ever sell, however being less than 1/4 of Black Ops it would still be considered a failure in comparison.

Ginyu predicted over 2 million for its first week, which it did. He predicted 6-8 million which is looking highly likely. due to poor US and Japan sales.

That quote of his saying 2.2 million was impossible was referring to the user Blue predicting that GT5 would sell 2.2 million copies in Japan LTD, so he was right since itll be very very lucky  to sell a third of that.

So you got that quote badly out of context he obviously wasnt saying itd never sell 2.2 million copies worldwide LTD.

Doesnt surprise me this site has one of the worst moderation systems around.

Like i was saying, the guy predicted over 2 million Week 1 he was right, he said 6-8 million Worldwide thatll be likely with how bad its sold in US and Japan.

As for your quote of him saying its impossible for it sell 2.2 million, that was referring to Blues prediction of the game selling 2.2 million copies in Japan LTD, which itll be very very lucky to even sell one third of that.

Wow the 360 got a nice little boost this week.

And it looks like EMEAA is going to bare the majority of the 9 million plus GT5 sales, just incredible numbers for that game.

Halo Reach got another 20k boost, hopefully Americas will have a nice boost for Halo Reach as well.

Strange coincidence indeed (add-on release sold out and release of a DKC game by Nintendo), but actually i think Kinect will perform better than Sega's 32X.

For my joke about comparing Dance central to Just Dance 2. I was reacting about seece statement that Kinect will be more successful for the 3rd party than the Wii. Which i don't think it is actually. By raw number (overall) Wii sell at least as much as 3rd software as the xbox360, just these games are not the one the "hardcorz gamerz" are looking about. Also apart few games (the one cited by the KDF), others numbers games didn't light the chartz and could be consider are shovelware.

I'm still reeling from the fact this thread is up already :-O

However, can it now be said that the Wii will reach At LEAST 82mil by years end, and even then go up to my prediction of 83-84mil after that?

All the consoles and games are doing well, particularly Kinect, GT5, DKCR, Epic Mickey, and of course NSMBWii, MKWii and Goldeneye!

COD is doing well, as is FIFA...yawn 

As two others have explained, I was referring to LOTRO going F2P, which has pulled a lot of people away from WoW. The influx of stories people who come to LOTRO has consistently been "The graphics are SO much better than WoW" and "Blizzard Customer Support is the worst EVER" ..  It may have an adverse effect on future WoW sales, as LOTRO went Free to Play in late Sept.
