GT5 shipped 6.37 million in 6 weeks.

So?

Halo 3 didn't ship just 5 Million in that much time. Not possible. VGCHartz numbers match up to NPD's and Gfk's on Halo 3's opening numbers.

That 5 Million is off. Way off. Probably the first shipment for the game, like we got the 5.5 for GT5.

The first shippment was 4.2 million. The point was the unique official number we have for Halo 3 and GT5 was that.

Edit - There are another number (Microsoft financial report)... 8.1 million shipped at 31th Dec 2007: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6184291.html

So 8.1 million SHIPPED with 15 weeks on market... VGC had it SOLD at 6,958,864 with 15 weeks... a little undertracked here I guess.

GT5 needs to ship more  1.73 million in 9 weeks.

LMAO!!!

OT: great sales for GT5, not a fan of racing games(mariokart being an exception)but I did buy it for a friend as a late christmas present so I helped!!! yay!!!

Yes, Japan and America retail are quite compatible with their respective shipped numbers, but EMEAA and WW look undertracked by 600-700k, if the % of units still on the shelves or in the channel is the same in EMEAA as in JP and America or even slightly higher than in America (as JP being a smaller region will have the smallest % in the channel, America has obviously a larger one and EMEAA % should be by a small amount larger than America, being more sparse but with its most important part commercially, EU, with similar compactness and average transports distances and efficiency to North America).

Also, considering the first shipments, Asia should give GT5 at least 300k units lifetime more than to GT4.

It seems to be me that this makes sense.

if this is the real number then its possible that GT5 could do 8mil by the end of the year and 10mil by 2013. which is great news.

but are other PS3 games are undertracked?? because Sly Cooper certainly is, but are their other ones dont we know about??

could a moderator please comment on their thoughts about this matter because i'm curious if GT5 is a one off, or part of a bigger picture we cant see yet! theres also more PS3s in Europe than any other region, and we know this region is very difficult to track so any information from vgc mods would be much appreciated!

Edit: when i say mod, i meant administrator, etc. whoever can confirm this stuff.

So here's what we have for additional shipped units since the 5.52 million number was announced in December.

Japan - 50k
North America - 330k
Europe - 410k
Asia - 70k

Total -- 560K

I think that shipment announcement was done in early December so the above numbers are probably for most of December.

i keep hearing people saying Sly is undertracked, im not saying its not, but what makes you guys think it is

- 5.52 million is the first shipment (for launch in 25th Nov).
- 6.37 million is for 31th Dec (1 month later).

I din't undertood that 560k...  is 850k shipped in December.

can't remember for which country it was, but we had SW numbers for one country in Europe and the sales for sly collection in that country alone was more than what we have for the whole region
