I'm surprised ethomaz wasn't all over this.
Anyways I originally didn't think GT5 would be able to hit 10 million but now I think it can pull it off without too much trouble. Could end up around 10.5 (or even way higher if they bundle it).
Gran Turismo is a BEAST ! Sony should turn it into their first app-killer, And yes i'm meaning PSVITA by that !!
Concrats. Well deserved and on the way to reach 10 millions lifetime.
EPICNESS!!!
Just one word "LEGZ"... that's all.
UNDERTRACED. It reached 8 million a month ago.
That's damned impressive, especially given that the recent Nintendo numbers show that it's higher than expected in Europe so it probably hit this milestone a while ago.
That said, I still think that the huge "GT5 will hit 10 million" community we had in late 2010 was moronic. Absolutely none of them expected that the game would sell more in 2012 than in 2011 so the fact that their LT numbers were right is really just a coincidence.
Not to rain on your parade, though, :P.

I said last year that I exptected GT5 to sell more this year than last year.

Eh, 10 million was, and is, a realistic expectation, though. For it to have been "moronic", the predictions would have needed to be impossible or completely unlikely. We had a few, but it wasn't an uncontrolled mob of outlandish guesses. OT: Good to see the title still going strong! 10 million may / may not be its final stopping point, but many didn't think 8 million was possible. I'm sure it will definitely land at 9 million sometime next year, however! |
If you want, I can dig up all the prediction threads that missed its first week by like 20% and had an average prediction of considerably over 10 million. Also, I seem to remember people being given an unbelievable amount of hell merely for saying that they expected 8-9m for it.
I recall this quite clearly because I'm pretty sure my first post was in a thread like that where I tried to argue with someone about this. This is like déjà vu for me, xD.

Absolutely, still outselling FM4 despite unfair reviews (in France at least).
PARTY! I've been playing a bit lately after the Paris Motor Show and it still feels sooooo good! GT4EVER
