I think with the User Base Japan will have when GT5 is released, Japan will probably have 2.1m sales within the first months. Europe should have sales of 5m Within the first months and US should be around 4mil.

I think GT5 will have little trouble passing 10m units sold.

so you are saying GT5 will be over 10 mil after released WW for one month.

I'm willing to bet that it's not gonna happen. It will fall short of the numbers you posted in all regions after first month.

I'm even willing to bet that GT5 will not even hit 2.1 mil in Japan lifetime.

You wanna bet that Gt5 won't reach 10 million?

If so, I'm down for that bet.

uh... that's not the bet at all.

You wanna bet that GT5 wil reach 10 mil after 1 month of WW release? That's what I thought Shoestar was saying.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Nope... but I'm saying you probably need to learn to read :P I said first months not first month. GT5 will have sales spanning over years... maybe 3-4 years(36-48months). Relatively speaking, First months could be 4-6months after release. :) 

way to play word game but that doesn't change much.

I'll bet that GT5 will not reach 10 million WW after 6 months. And it won't reach 2.1 mil in Japan lifetime.

Or you want to change the definition of "first months" again?

@sebby_e17

You want to join this bet? 10 mil in 6 month WW release?

No. There's no way GT5 will reach 6 million after 6 months.

My prediction, however, is that GT5 will reach 7 million by the end of 2010 if it releases in August.

Has *any* game ever reached 10 million in sales within 1 month of release?

By the way  - the world "months" is plural.  Plural means "more than 1".  I'm pretty sure he didn't mean within 1 month, or he would have said "month".  Stop being silly.

Usually people would say "first few months" or "first *number* months" instead of "first months". When was the last time you see people use "first months" or even "first days" or "first years"?

Besides, he stated later that "first months could mean 4-6 months." Are you agreeing with him that GT5 would sell 10 mil within first 4-6 months?

Also, how many months are exactly "first months"? 4-6 as he claimed? 8-10? 12-15? 18-24? It's as ambiguous as it gets.

It isn't my fault that your lack of intellect impairs you... Regardless, if it was a typo, I'd have said 'months' only once and probably said month the next time. However, if you read my original post carefully, you will see I have used the word 'months' twice. That alone should hint that it is neither a typo, a mistake nor a play on words. As for why I used months, it's because I have no idea when GT5 will be released but I do know that it will take time(albeit not too much) to reach 10mil, hence why I said 'months' and not 'days' or 'weeks'.

I have no desire to *** your insecurities anyway, so feel free to continue to debate your lost point as long as you wish... Albeit without me. :)
