Since the O.P feels the need to compare Gran Tursimo to Forza can I compare Gran Turismo to Mario Kart? I want to have fun comparing too!



Go nuts.

Here you go: Mario Kart Wii first 5 weeks.

1 1,212,795 580,510 579,136 2,372,441 2,372,441
2 388,636 185,528 448,761 1,022,925 3,395,366
3 246,875 149,045 250,440 646,360 4,041,726
4 191,844 174,034 126,652 492,530 4,534,256
5 100,144 109,180 114,586 323,910 4,858,166

If Forza is being brought in, I see no reason not to bring in Mario Kart...or NFS or <insert game here>

I agree, I will be adding other wii racing games and NFS as well. Give me a second.

It's already outselling GT4 in aligned launches:

5 weeks worldwide:

GT5: 4,621,505
GT4: 4,591,879

GT5 is completely destroying GT4 in the past few weeks, despite the weaker first week. I think this happened because a lot of people were confused about the release date, and advertising wasn't able to kick in as early as it was supposed to. In EMEAA, GT5's 5 weeks has already outsold GT4's 10 weeks.

I predict that GT5 will go on to outsell GT4 by at least a million. The strong momentum of the game should continue into early 2011, and this is all happening despite a very weak Japanese market. Europe is loving this so much. I think the reason for all this happening is that GT4 was produced at the height of PS2 piracy, and that PS3 piracy is still virtually non-existent.

Anyway, to all the people who thought GT5 would sell "below Forza 3 or GT5 Prologue", "just 5 or 6 million", those people who said "PS3 userbase is too small", "It has bad reviews", "Forza is the new king of racing", "GT is on a decline", blah blah blah blah blah...

(Btw, Forza 3 sales, heavily bundled, over one year later: 4,405,464)

Eat that.

I'm not that surprised that it was able to out leg GT4 in the same time frame. GT5 was released during the holiday everywhere, GT4 was not.

Although... GT5 hardly gave the PS3 a console sales boost like hoped. It got dominated during the holiday.

I don't see why almost every GT thread leads to Forza bashing. Halo threads don't go to Killzone 2 bashing. Kinect threads don't turn into Move bashing. Sony has a great selling racer, nobody is denying it.

i know one of the reasons i hate gt5/forza threads is that they lead to bashing. in this case i thing bugrimmar was bashing the haters and not forza.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Where do you see any Forza bashing?  

Stating that GT is selling more than Forza isn't saying that it's a shit game.

Bold1: No GT4 was released in holiday season in Japan too, this is also the reason why Japan sales are really disappointing.

Bold2: Doing almost as good as last year without slim? Move and GT5 surely have something to do with it.
