How many units did the other GT games sell in their first months in the US?

GT5 sold about 400K first month and went on to sell about 550K second month.

GT6 sold below 180K first month. No idea how it did second month, but it's likely a low number anyways.

So GTS will probably do 200kish?

Went and looked up that gamestop deal - that is an awkward deal.

The consoles are $300 to $350 original Xbox one.

You are basically paying the "more" to get an inferior console just for a bunch of $20ish games.

It depends. Its the 1TB with 4 games for only $50 than the 500gb with minecraft pr BF1. If you dont owna 4K TV its a pretty good bundle and it comes with good games like tomb raider.

GT6 was more of an outlier due to the context of its release. It's going to largely depend on the previews, reviews, quality of the game, marketing, bundling (or lack thereof), and legs.

How didt he GT spinoffs do? Might be better to compare those sales since GTS is a spinoff.

Exclusives + Scorpio promotions. Just as I predicted.

... and there are better deals elsewhere. jason123 already mentioned it a few times. Let's not get carried away until the NPD numbers roll in.

Well that's a statement for IF Amazon is right. As you know I'm still not personally counting on Amazon as I've said many times over the last couple of months. However, what I've said is inevitable, whether it starts this month, next month or the month after.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Er... I don't think GT has a spinoff other than the PSP version. I don't really consider GT5 Prologue to be a spinoff since it's basically a big GT5 demo.

It's difficult to pinpoint how GTS will do other than it'll land somewhere sell between GT6 and GT5. If it manages to get fantastic reception, then sales will be higher.



Hey, the Neon Switch is available for preorder!

Aaaaaand it's gone.

This is frigin' ridiculous. You explain to me how a console that wasn't in the top 100 6 hours ago is suddenly at #03 but 'out of stock'. Amazon are messing with the charts to promote the Switch. It won't affect this month but come March I'm not going to be so sure 'preorders' will guarentee a big win for the Switch.

I can confirm that it actually did have a couple minutes of availability.

Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Switch Neon bundle was never available for preorder?  I never found it and it never showed up before in the charts.  It would seem, like the pro controller, it only just became available for preorder and sold out immediately, hence the spike.
