Is this the excuse fans will use if it ends up the worst selling of the series?

Now that I look at it, though, Sony had a genius idea for once by milking their customers to make up for any potential losses in GT5 sales with GT5P sales.


gt5 never lost anything! It shipped 6.4 million units in only 6 weeks!!

Bolded.

Besides, we have yet to receive any official numbers as to how its legs were. It could still end up being the worst selling.

GT5 IS TAKIN OVER!!!!

Some prologs were out like 6 months before the full game right? Obviously not going to sell as well as GT5P which was the only GT title out this gen for like, 2 years at least?

Gran Turismo 4 Prologue was out about 15 months before,  no other GT game had a prologue that I remember.  And I think GT5P was out for almost 3 years before GT5

GT5 is selling way better than GT4.

People here forgot GT5 shipped 6.37 million in 6 weeks while GT4 shipped almost the same amount in 6 months.

That is a real comparison.

GT5 6.37 million by Dec 2010 (six weeks).
GT4 6.79 million by Sep 2005 (six months).

For comparison VGC data for same time frame:

GT5  5,076,495 (1.3 million to shipped numbers)
GT4 6,082,190 (700 k to shipped numbers)

Which game you guys think was undertracked?


Spring launch vs holiday launch.  In six months, GT5 won't have shipped much more than it had over six weeks.

I don't think either's undertracked.

To be fair, GT5 is much more of a series then prior GT's. GT1 and 2 were standalone, and GT3 and 4 only had Japanese demos/prologues.

Good look at it, but I do't think it means anything.

After adjustments GT5 is near 500k over GT4.
