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).

Erm, try 710,000

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

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.

Am a bit late, but i see that now...

CGI, I'm not really interested in going through this exact same argument AGAIN. I guess you can claim I misunderstood you or whatever, but after the exact same thing happened not even 3 days agao, I would've hoped you'd be more thoughtful in your language. Frankly, to me it looks you'd rather attack the poster than the argument. I'll ask you to try to give this sort of behavior more consideration in the future, 3rd time's definitely not the charm.

As far as digital sales, until I see some evidence that they're a significant contributor in Japan, I don't see much point in even bringing up the subject. If they'd have greatly increased GT5P sales we'd have undoubtedly heard about it by now. From what we know, GT5P sales aren't exactly encouraging....

You misunderstood, that has been explained. And frankly, I'm not attacking you. I just don't understand your behavior towards many of the games you comment on. It's usually never positive. Can we drop it though, it's worn out and immobile at this point.

As for GT5:P, agree to disagree.

I guess I keep misunderstanding.  I guess that's totally my problem.  I guess I should just stop responding to you.  I guess I will.

My final advice though, stop trying to "understand" motivation in a sales discussion.  Argue the facts, leave the intangibles alone, they'll never get you anywhere and it generally comes off as bit desperate in the end.

lol GT5 release will make so many people look like fools, and i bookmarked all the threads just to to make sure.

My point for quoting you in the first place was not based on you posting a fact though. That is why I argued it, knida hard to argue with facts, no? Personally, it doesn't matter what your motivation is, but it will be questioned by one poster or another if what you're saying isn't supported by fact. This is the case in almost all cases.

I also wasn't the only one to argue that point with you. If I was, I could understand you thinking it was an attack. What you posted wasn't fact though, and was quite bold. That's how you sparked a 3-way argument.

Okay, last response.  All I did was bring facts.  And you'll notice, when other posters questioned them or my arguments I responded in kind, usually with more facts.

You'll also notice, other posters didn't start questioning motivations aloud and make passive aggressive comments on posting "patterns".  I guess they know how to stay on topic and not fuel repeat "misunderstandings".  Take notes.

* sigh *

"The sales aren't encouraging", isn't a fact. It's called downplaying, which is where the "pattern" comment spawned from. It has nothing to do with preferences, as you so desperately like to claim.

But you win though. I haven't got the patience to keep explaining. For the future, note-taking should be YOUR #1 priority, as it isn't here today. Good day.

OT: @ nen-suer: have you played the GT Academy Trial yet?

It's an observation based in fact (ie: 239k legit sales tracked).  The only "pattern" here is you taking issue with perceived "downplaying", and moving a sales discussion to a "misunderstood" ad hominem shitfest.   All I'm asking is that you try to be more conscious of this in the future and comment on sales, not posters.

Yay, I won.

the racing genre is not popular anymore

only 1 person was playing the time trail on my friends list

most of its old players have grown and some of those grown people don't game anymore

the only hope i have for gt5 is actually forza. that game is selling really good, so maybe people still wanna race. or maybe those

F3 players are old gt players?

 

so what do you think gt5 will sell week 1 and life time.


What a collection of brainless affirmation.

Forza is an epic fail in the US, VGC overtracked it like hell, 700.000 says VGC, less than 300.000 for NPD.

My grandmother don't by a wii, so the wii is dead ???

GT5 will have epic sale, we all know that, look at the GT5prologue, more than 4 millions.
