Hey if FFXIII can sell 1.5m from 4m PS3's, im sure GT5 can sell 10m from 24.9m PS3's (toke japan out)

 

 

Why did you took Japan out ? GT is a big game in Japan one of the biggest (Ps3) and will be the second million seller for PS3 after FFXIII.

If Mingol can't sell a million in Japan anymore, I have to seriously wonder if GT can?  The PSP/Prologue sales aren't exactly encouraging...

Really? The Prologue sales weren't encouraging? Based on what metric?

 

Only sold 500k.  GT4P sold 750k in Japan, and it didn't have the benefits GT5P did (first GT on platform, 250k "sales" from free bundling).

GT5P Sold 710K in Japan as of last September

Erm, try 710,000

Erm, try "sold", not "shipped".  And sold was being generous when 295k were given away free.

No one does, unless a publisher gives them out directly.  The only instances I can recall of that are Atlus saying Persona PSP sold 10k on PSN ltd (retail was ~130k).

You still haven't proven, by any reasonable metric, why GT5 won't do very well.

You're comparisons of Prologues and GT PSP don't make sense. This has already been shown to you. Since I'm noticing a pattern here though, I'm wasting my time. You also seem to love the last word, concerning everything, so be it.

My comparison was actually to Mingol, a series which has traditionally sold neatly in line with GT in Japan.   I just said the Prologue and PSP sales weren't exactly encouraging and really, even you have to admit they're not.  This is all also JP centric, I expect GT5 to hold up far, far better in Europe (which is it's key region anyway).

Also, try not derail another thread with fanboi mudslinging okay.  Your own pattern here is getting somewhat tired.

People doubted what Final Fantasy would do, that didn't go very far. Something tells me Gran Turismo 5 will be fine in Japan.

Well, I guess we should just close down all Sales board discussion for any PS3, PSP and 360 games which are also sold digitally? ;)

If we use the Persona ratio as a metric for GT5P, it's sold... 18k.  It's 40k if we count Spec III bundles towards sales.  Really, we have nothing better to go on, so I guess we could say GT5P maybe sold around ~257-279k.

I wouldn't suggest going down that route. And the thread has remained very much on topic. Your downplaying has been tired, but that's a thread for another time.

To the topic though, GT PSP and Prologue, for the last time, can't be compared to the full GT5 here. This has been explained to you already. Why have you ignored that?

I'd suggest you take your own advice and leave it at that.

And for the last time, I'm not comparing Prologues or PSP as my chief argument, I'm using generational franchise decline for Mingol, which frankly is the series most comparable to GT historically (usual 1-2m seller, Sony IP, hardcore AND mainstream appeal).  This has been explained to you already.  Why have you ignored that?
