Just for the hell of it.

YAY

Now do one with Super Mario Galaxy/2!

Looking at this, I doubt GT5 will ever reach 10mil. I thought that Halo Reach was unlikely as well, but now I think it should clear that easily, sometime next year...

Interesting how GT5 has just dropped away as of late though. I have much sadness

GT5 hasn't had a price cut, while Reach has. Puts things in perspective.

Why is GT5 below Reach's numbers two months ago then? Keep beating that drum though, it amuses me.

Keep in mind that those are aligned launches....GT5 launched Late November so thats why it had those bunch of weeks where it did REALLY good...Halo Reach released in September and the 150-300k time period was right around the holiday.

Well, considering Gran Turismo doesn't sell like Halo (even though the end result may be neck and neck), the answer is pretty simple. And you can save your usual bullshit, condescending approach for somebody else. Nothing was wrong in what I said, nor should it have struck a personal nerve.

Oh it's just the same tired lines you've posted every week for like the last month.

Whenever someone mentions Halo: Reach's sales, I'm always looking forward to your "But it had a price cut!" posts attempting to dismiss them. I look forward to such commentary when Gran Turismo gets one.

What about Halo Reach being bundled like hell? That and a price cut at 39.99$ and the sales directly appear less impressive. But you won't see that this way for obvious reasons. You say people try to downplay Halo Reach sales, but it's often an answer to people like you making them appear what they're not. If the game had those sales with full price and without bundle then yea, that'd be freaking impressive, ftb it's not, or at least no the way you think it is.

Hate to break it to you but Halo Reach has no bundles nor has it had any in the past.

I do agree it hasn't been "bundled like Hell" though.

Wow forgot about that...but thats garnered more for people that were planning on buying the game anyways...not too mention it was $100 more expensive. 

I guess when I think of bundles I think of your average console with a game or two thrown in for no extra cost...like the KZ3 bundle, Forza bundles and the like.

Since when?

Also you realize thats a Europe 360 bundle and Halo Reach sells around 6k in all of EMEAA a week if its lucky.

Now that I think about it I can totally see how you could get mad bundling out of an obscure bundle thats somewhere in Europe.

See I can do it too but its obvious that neither Halo Reach nor GT5 have gotten really any sales due to bundles.

Oh PS3, I hate you. Don't do it with the haters.

So the quarter ends with 2,828,938 sold to consumers. Does anyone still doubt that Sony will reach 15 million planned? Just 2.8 million shipped for that.

Next prediction 17 million?


according to shipment data of end of december 2010, what did they need to sell?

and what did they need according to vgchartz december?

Shipped: 2.8 million in Q4.

VGC April 2010 to March 2011: 13,985,991 (1 million to 15 million)

What I find really, really strange is GT5's recent drop off.

Very strange.

Why? core or casual is still a success.
