I posted this in another thread but I think this might help to explain MS's supply problems.

only issue i have with that thread is if ms stopped one factory or if one factory stopped on their own ms would find other sources, they didnt release kinect to f with peoples heads. They did it to sell consoles, this is doing as such

so GT5 sold 560.5K.

bundles included?

lol what bundles?

Anyway few questions,is uncharted 2 undertracked? Is reach overtracked?

thx

gamestop 12/18 - 12/24 - Sony Playstation 3 160GB Gran Turismo 5 Bundle 50$ gamestop coupon =>360$

There were bundles in every region for GT5. Gamestop, Amazon, Best Buy and a couple other retailers in the U.S. had bundles for like 2 weeks and once those were gone, that was it. GT5 still sold very well. I'm impressed. My lifetime was 7-8 million overall. It may surpass that. It won't reach GT3 or GT4 sales though. If the game was better it might have had a chance.

It's already at 5.06 million, so 7-8 mill is a given, but 10mill is where it's not guaranteed yet (though I see it reaching that just fine). Reviews also didn't really have the impact many said they would (even though again, it's just five points behind GT4 and the reviews were hardly bad to begin with).

I agree that it won't catch GT4 (11 mill) nor GT5 (14.9mill), but I'm confident it'll reach 10 mill (which is what most people think it would do anyway - which is a fantastic result. That would put it ahead of GT2 and on par with the original GT.

GT5 14.9 million confirmed.

360 did better than that we all know it i believe its NPD just stealth adjusting for its Nov numbers i think they did the same last year during Dec aswell

so i was right is that why vgc only adjusted total americas for the 360 down by like only 100k to 2.8M instead of down to 2.1-2M or are we waiting for shipments?
