Some might want to consider a small fact.

Even if GT6 sold at the same pace as GT5, its first week sales would be lower, due to the fact of being on sale for half the time.

lol

 

you all enjoy, should be fun when PD releases info.

But until then........fun times for us ;)

......who said lifetime? We are comparing week 1 to week 1. What thread are you reading lol.

Man you're trying way to hard to prove... what? That GT6 48 hrs sales are less than GT5's, and that renders a game a "flop"? Really, you've been trying with dozens of posts in 2-3 threads and I can't figure out why. Is there some time limit in which we should declare a game "flopped"? Can't we just wait for official numbers? What's all the haste?

The problem is that there isn't a universal definition for "flop" in the gaming sense. To me, and those who commented as such, think a flop is when something performs below the standard/expectations. Not profit. So I stand by my assessment.

No matter how many digital copies sold, it is lower then GT5. I guess I keep commenting because it is.........interesting to see some dedicated fans fight tooth and claw to preserve the games......dignity? I have a hard time trying to get their mentality, which is why I am still here lol

Well, yes. It's lower. It must be, given all the data so far. Then again, I don't see why the fuss. I guess you want to get even with some people, but consider the fact that such actions set the foundations for subsequent counter-actions. A vicious circle of being hit and retaliating.

I have no right whatsoever to advise you on anything and please forgive me if it seems insulting or anything to you. I saw you earlier calling people to "man up". I'll say, be the better man and let them enjoy their flop, such as it is. Construct, thusly, a paradigm that they, themselves should follow on future occasions.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

wait a min here, what is the expectations by Sony for GT6?

what is the matrix you are going by ?

 think a flop is when something performs below the standard/expectations

What was the sales expected to be by Sony's outlook? your trying to use conjecture to = factual oucome, when its still conjecture on a very narrow defined short %

" So I stand by my assessment."

So in other words even though its over 800,000 its a flop because it did not match the one before it? hey if say GT6 would have sold one more copy in its opening week than gt5 would it have been a success by your standards?

If it sold even a couple hundred thousand less id say its well in line with the series standard. We callt hat a "ball-park". This is not in the ball park, as of now anyway.

Likewise to all the "save GT's dignity" agendas in here :P. When the numbers change, so will our minds and arguments. There will be no ownage because we are going on what we see now, not what will be revealed in 3 weeks lol

this works both way's if there wants to call it data = flop vs the previous game was released in the same generation cycle, and the next game does not match up, than that maust be some gamer's perception of what a Flop is, thus if they want to call it a flop , so be it but every game than needs to held under the same standard's than,  that would make 1 week data to determine all software by 1st week if its a flop or not, than if thats the way some gamer's want to call it how about all games than? that way only one week of tracking data would be needed for every game for how well its done, sounds good to me. I can live with that. I say lets do it.

LMAO

Look at it this way , many could get away with saying and rubbing in that every game on the PSVita is a flop.

Would people trade bragging rights for software only be tracked by only 7 days of data only ?

I would. bring it on..LMAO

Yeah, youll just flip the scirp say "but this" and runnoff on a different argument tring to down play gt. Just like in ever other tread. What youll see in 3 weeks will still be the same. 4 days of sales vs 1.  Which that one day by the way managed to out sell all most a full month of forza.

lol playing the sales Forza card. Nice sidetrack. I think quality should do the talking, but thats me. But it is nice to see that the sales gap between the two is getting smaller....
