A lot of new Wii Games are having their biggest selling week so far in EMEAA here.

INCLUDING GOLDENEYE.

Even with GT5's adjustment, it's still going to cross 4 million this week and will likely cross 4.5mill by year's end.


3M alone in EMEAA! :)

So why is the Halo series demeaned for how disproportionately it sells in NA but the same is not done with GT5 in EMEAA?

Not to say its right, but just find it ... interesting ...


Because that's a kind of silly claim to make about Gran Turismo as a series. Both GT2 and GT3 sold more in Americas than in EMEAA. The Halo game that saw the lowest percentage sales in Americas (out of the total) is Halo 3 with 72%. For a comparison, GT5:P (the GT game that so far has the highest percentage sales in EMEAA) sold 55% in that region. I very much doubt that the ratio between EMEAA and the world for GT5 is going to be much different from that.

There's also the matter of  EMEAA being many countries with vastly different cultues, whereas Americas is pretty much ~ 90% USA.

(Not that I agree with the demeaning).

Well the demeaning is the crux of my point.  If it wasn't for EMEAA (and no, I've never liked that grouping), GT5 would be nothing.  But the same can be said of, say, Halo Reach and Americas.  But those purchasers in Americas are quite often demeaned in this community for it as well as the series in general, but GT5 sales in EMEAA have been celebrated for carrying the title.

For the record, this is NOTHING against these games.  They've pretty much proven themselves.  I'm just calling out an inconsistency in the way the community responds to these things.  In fact, if I wanted I could bring up the same inconsistencies with the response to Kinect's performance in Americas ...

Is it just me or does the 360 seem to be really under tracked in EMEAA?

How does GT5 drop only 6% from week 2 in the UK and over 20% in the whole of EMEAA? I thought the UK was supposed to be a relatvely smaller market for the franchise. I guess it could have been more frontloaded in the hardcore GT countries like Italy and France.


You answered your own question

Yeah, I thought so. The numbers are still amazing.
