GT5 up 400k on GT4. If it continues on a 15-20k weekly status, it should still be able to stay ahead of it through holiday 2011 (where I think that will be the determing factor as to whether or not it can clear it lifetime). I'm not holiding my breath on it, but rather feel GT5 can settle between 10 & 10.5mill.

Not being facetious...genuine question... why is GT5 only ever compared to GT4?  whats wrong with GT3?

We compare Reach with Halo3 as Halo3 was the previous biggest seller in the franchise.

Because GT5 is following a similar pattern to GT4 and GT5 will never catch GT3 unless bundled in the Americas in the same fashion.

Plus, we don't have all the data for GT3.

So if it gets bundling then we can compare it...?

Now I am being facetious, I feel your answer allows me to.    

if the bundling is as much as the one being compared to then sure.

I was being facetious...


i have no idea what that means



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Cant wait to see how Wii does when it's price drops for the 1st time in 3 years.

Agreed. Wii sales will explode and come out on top at the end of the year

Also, as for why it was slow today...3DS came out today over here, remember? Figures for next week will be interesting...


Just like Last Christmas season, I wouldn't doubt that Wii sales will explode this Christmas season at the very least.  This gen has really buckled a lot of trends from past gen.  Don't take anything for granted.

Wii still hanging in there with nothing really noticeable to keep sales driving it. It makes me wonder what the numbers would have been for Sony and MS if Kinect and Move didint happen. Do you think they'd have been dead in the water without motion control systems?

dude less than 1/5 of PS3 sales were with move bundles... PS3 wouldve been just fine without move.

This confuses me then, because everyone is touting Move as a major success. If only 1/5 of the PS3 sales since Move released was actually due to the Move, then is it really doing well?


How about those who bought Move who already had a PS3?

360 defies gravity for a 6th year....

Halo REACH? well... this title just DEFINES legs.  (and its about 500,000 up on Halo3)

Kinect is amazing: 10m soon. Kinect Sports: 3m incoming.

I can't believe people still think main Halo games don't have good legs!

GT3 is a especial case... It was bundled since launch with PS2 in America more like Wii Sports (the difference is GT5 was not bundled with every console... Wii Sports was).

So GT5 will never bundled like GT3 in America... so that's harder to compare... if Halo 3 had the same bundle scheme of GT3 I guess it could be sell 15 million or more.
