Heh, so Modern Warfare 2 nearly will top in 2 days what took GT4 5 years...
And that is shipments. MW2 shipments, comparing like for like, must be close to 20 million already.
Edit: I just looked up GT5:P on the ELSPA awards, it is "platinum" meaning it has sold between 300-600k in the UK so far.
Lets say we take the midpoint and it has sold 450k, I think it will not sell more than 2X that in the rest of EU, meaning 1.35k altogether. Now in Japan not more than 500k, and the same in USA. GT5:P only charted in NPD top 10 once, April, in 6th place at 224k. The same or less as such games as Borderlands 360 or even less famous games.
So there's 2.35m or less in real sales that I know of so far.
The game only started at $40 right? And I checked because I didn't know, it is currently a greatest hits on Amazon U.S. at 24.99, so I guess a lot of those are low priced catalogue sales.
Edit2: and yes, the game debuted at 39.99.
