There is still life in the DS left

We could see PS2-esque holds for it. (by PS2-esque holds I mean post nex-gen launch PS2 sales which were very good)

Yeah I just got confused with you putting all those games that have been out for a year/years |
That's the best selling games on consoles.
GT5 is just below Black Ops in EMEAA with 15 seeks... that's AMAZING... all other games in this generation sold less in Week 15.

EMEAA is the GT5s strongest territory a fair comparison would be with the other games similarly strong territories. All of those games experience stronger sales in America.. Besides all those games are different genres so you're comparing apples to bananas, but there isn't much to compare it to since racing genre is defined by select few games.

Not sure about that. What put PS3 on top last week was a pretty large boost from KZ3 (bigger than I would have expected) in America's and only a modest boost from Bulletstorm for 360. I expect PS3's drop will be quite large in Americas (gap should be >50K this week. With the PS3 drop in EMEAA being bigger than the 360 drop (even though same %) that should put 360 on top of PS3 this week. Japan will keep it very close of course. |
In Americas 360 is always ontop of PS3. Ps3 actually held up a lot more then yu gave it credit for. Using media create data for Japan, the DS is ontop followed closely by the 3DS then the PS3. Then there is a modest 22k gap between PS3 and 360 (down from 36k), and a 23k gap between PS3 and Wii (down from 65k).
Looks like I was 100% correct, but I should have acknowledged strong 3DS sales in my original post.

Ok. Show me others games who sold more than that in EMEAA... I listed the best selling games in EMEAA... GT5 just came below Black Ops PS3.
That's a fair comparison... GT5 is the second fastest selling game in EMEAA so far... that's a fact.

Other way around. Wii was severly undertracked (150k or so), and PS3/360 were less undertracked, but still both by about 50k. So it's Wii more so then PS3 and 360.
Note: 360 was adjusted down again for January. Shortages that took place in the first 2 weeks look more severe now, which explains the 200k worldwide difference.

No just sayin' that you're cherry picking as usual. Taking into account amazing GT sales last gen in EMEAA it's no surprise that it's a beast there, but if you want a "fair" comparison of sorts then you should compare games strongest territories(where the sales are most centric) for COD/Halo/GTAIV the strongest regions are US, so it's no surprise that GT5 comes out on top.
Ps. Before I get ambushed by the PS3 rabid crowd, no I am not trying to downplay GT5 success.

Wow Pokemon sucks in EMEAA..
GT5 definatly has strong sales in EMEAA, but thats 2/3rd of GT5's market. Sales in Japan are almost dead, and in Americas they are very low.
Still impressive figures for EMEAA. Out of curiosity did you omit PS2 games?
wait a second.....your omiting a lot of games!
Just to name a few. So GT5 is actually 4th for EMEAA in the past 5 years or so (VGC data doesn't have weekly sales for older games, but I bet GTA: Vice City is above GT5 as well). Still impressive, GT4 is 9th, but then again it wasn't launched in the holiday window.
Like NotStan says, this is also for EMEAA, GT's strongest region by far, and it's still behind Call of Duty, whose strongest region is Americas.
