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.

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.

That's not really a John Lucas prediciton you know, he would've said that GT 5 P would sell less than 500k and be a 360 exclusive.

@Famine; yeah, Europeans love GT more than most!

100k PS3s in Euro next week would mean GT5P did its job IMO.

Can someone tell him that the pre-orders was retail pre-orders of the software?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Thanks Clanki for your insights. Do you have actual numbers for how much hardware and top software sellers from your store? It would make an interesting thread if you could post every week ;)

ssj12 is living in a world of pixies and faeries, SCEE only sold 600k PS3s during launch week, a prediction of 1m hardware sales is going to be off by an order of magnitude.

Anyway, as long as GT5:P and the bundle do sell well (which will be nowhere near those crazy predictions) there's a good chance SCEE will give us some figures.

I'd pick up GT5P if it was 30, and I'm not even a facing fan.

Excellent news. The ps3 is really moving up in the world. :)

I never expected GT 5 P to be a real success on its own, especially after the atrocious GT: HD on PS store. Good news none the less!

 I have said this before, but you can't really complain about something that was free!
