Not a big deal. Mario 3d World will sell for a long time worldwide. Knack will soon be forgotten

dunno. NSMBU was suppose to have legs too and it hasn't done so great. barely outlegs NSMB even though it's many years older. if wiiU was doing better it would have legs, imo, but when no one new is picking up the system it's damn hard to have legs on a game.

A lot of people jumping to conclusions. Just like they did with gt5. And once again will be proven wrong. This game came out in Fridays, next weeks numbers should be a better indication. And its 1 and 12(?) In japan.

Nearly every game in Europe is released on a friday.

More reason to have GT6 epilogue on the PS4. lol!

I mean seriously, you release one of your most popular franchises a week later from your newest console is just wrong. I have no idea what Sony is thinking on this. Its not like GT fans don't know how to wait.

Good lord Nintendo. Can we have now a real 64/Sunshine/Galaxy succesor?

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Do we know the opening week sales of the other GT games? I think GT5 was a massive improvement in that respect over the previous titles. GT6 might be close to them, even though it's far from GT5.

I read somewhere on neogaf (with a link) that GT5 beat GT4's launch by 14% or something...so it had the best launch ever for the series but it won't cover up the deficit.

______________________

This is disappointing but dare i say not earth-shatteringly surprising.

The PS4/XBONE hype and marketing frenzy meant GT6 was hardly even marketed, I haven't seen a single advert for it anywhere!!

Also the PS4/XBONE sales just go to prove that people were so tired off this gen...I mean in my opinion neither console had a library strong enough to justify the record-breaking esque launch sales they got....it was really a market bored to death with this current gen that has gone on for 8 years!

GT6 got lost in the fiddle here. I hope it'll continue to have legs though (it probably will). I don't know if SONY should do a GT6 PS4 version or skip straight ahead to GT7 though

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
