I thought there were over 1 million pre-orders in the EU. That would mean a console sales increase way above 25%. If I'm to guess at least 60% of those GT5P sales will be new console owners. I figure console sales will be around 900k - 1 million in the EU/Others with software around 1.5 million.

Woah, I think thats wishfull thinking in my opinion.

Even though it would be awesome if it actually happend.


figure pre-orders was reported to be over a million last week, how many more pre-orders were made? how many copies/consoles are set asside for people who didn't pre-order (they do that)?

I'll stick by my estimate. Heck is the prediction league up. I'll bet 200VG$ on it.

Willing to risk another 200$? I bet it won't be over 450k next week in others. You mods can take/give money right?

Those pre-orders are retail pre-orders, not consumer pre-orders. And even if GT5 prologue sells 1M units in 1 week, console sales won't even be close to that same number. I really don't see PS3 sales being over 150k in others next week, and even that seems high to me.

On a related note, how many of the consumers buying GT5 Prologue realize it is not the full game? I happen to be in a store today and someone came in to return his copy after realizing it is not the full game.

how's heavenly sword doing in your shop after the price drop?(in terms of % increase)

I would say +50% for Heavenly Sword, +100% for Motorstorm and +80% for Resistance. A lot of people say " good ! It's not very expensive now ! " But their numbers were a little low before there were 40 euros, so it's not an unbelievable rise .

If my shop represents all shops in OTHERS , PS3 hardware should be 100K for next week ...

100k in Eu/Others is not that much, it could reach 130-140k as well I think.

Wow, that's like like a John Lucas prediction on steroids. It barely sold over 500k during the European launch. Would it even be possible to put a million consoles on retail shelves? A million is even more than the PS2 sold in it's launch week in Japan.

 He said GT5 sales would be near 1 million when numbers are in.

Is it GT5:P really selling that well in Others? Right now, where are we at?
