GT5 is doing very very well in EMEAA. Many people seem to think that NPD = World sales.

No one thinks that. GT5 sales probably need a n adjustment right about now. It wasn't even in the Top 10 for Dec on the NPD charts. That's not good. I'm sure it was in EMEA's Top 10 though. It sold over 3 million copies in EMEA region. More then 60% of the game's sales. That % will probably increase throughout this year. GT5 was a good game, but nothing spectacular. The car physics was it's only saving grace. The premium cars look brilliant, but everything else was pretty average or only half completed. The game still seemed unfinished, which is why most reviewers were disappointed.

Wow.. even Kinect Sports outsold GT5 for the month. Yikes.

Umm. You are wrong. Read the threads on various sites that post the NPD sales. Especially Kotaku.

Seems like copy-paste from many reviews to me.

It's a lost case, forget about him.

Meh EMEAA region will tank the losses from Japan and US until it's bundled in those two regions. So no big deal imo, certainly didn't warrant a thread.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Cut and Paste from one of the inaccurate reviews that doesn't even know how to review a simulator then.   Not that I'm a big fan of them - I have GT5 but prefer stuff like Burnout Paradise - but I also know how to evaluate them, as do the majority of sites evaluating GT5 as a simulator who rated it pretty highly for something limited to a console vs PC based simulators.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

On spot.

Depends on how much it sold in bundles and how well it did in Canada and Latin America. If it performed as well as or better than God of War 3 in those regions than we're probably spot on or possibly marginally undertracking it.

Not overall figures but in Brazil it sold 40k in first month and Sony expect 160k lifetime.

Line for launch day in one store here (São Paulo)... over 300 people... that absolute amazing for my country.

GT5 had equal or better hype here for launch.

sad thing is people will ignore WW numbers, when everyone expected it to best in EMEAA region, but will come here and bash the game itself with random comparisons etc. just to satisfy their console warrior mentality. Hey I get that we have our fave consoles. I love my ps3/psp but come on. Double standards are annoying. and this is GT, it will keep selling for years (refer to GT history)...being at 5 mil mark already in a month or so WW, the game is off to a great start. and the bundling hasn't kicked in either.

Yes, they are. Why did you compare GT5 to Lost in Shadow? Y U h8 Wii?

ugh never did sigh man I'm getting tired explaining this, never compared the two games. those two are not comparable but I'm not gonna explain this again, did it twice already, please go check the response, it should be in the last few pages, if you like.
