@Alby_da_Wolf: can't agree more...a lot of japanese manufacturer's car are here with a lots of different version..whereas for European and American one...there is nearly not the minimal we could hope. Well, ok, it's still more maybe than in any other racing game ahah, but Polyphony should balance more the amount of car of each continent.

@Michael-5 ye because 20% of 1310000 is only 262k, and that means nothing right? Of couse the greatest part of Americas are the US but the rest of the continet does contribute considerably, so if its beeing undertracked there the sales figures are getting a big hit. I can say for a fact that everyone and theyre mon have GT5 on Brazil, if you go to any game store here theyll tell you the game is selling extremelly well.

over 80% of Americas sales are US. So even if the game were mega popular in South America, it wouldn't make much of a difference to the games total sales in Americas. Also, your friends may just have similar interest, but do no necessarily represent the whole South America

Also Yahoocom1984 The claims PS3 fanboys have on NG4 holds some merit considering that PS3 is always undertracked and then adjusted up while the Xbox 360 is always overtracked and adjusted down. I've witnessed 4 of these said cases but I don't think VGCharts do it on purpose. EMEAA is a hard area to track

Your prediction makes sence, I disagree a bit, but I have nothing against you for it. I think 9.4, or something just under 10, but it's too early to tell who is right. W never know Sony may bundle GT5 like they did with GT3 and MS did with Forza 2 and 3. At least you can back up your argument, so I'm happy :D. On thing we do know is GT5 will be PS3's best selling exclusive title, ad it may very well be the best-selling PS3 title. If it isn't, Only CoD's will be above it, which is still a great accomplishment.

DeOn - No GT4 sold 6.2 million copies When the 360 was released and still went on to sell another 4.4 million afterward. It was unaffected by the 360 launch, and I don't see why I would be. It wasn't selling too strongly at that point (40k weekly during November), but PS2 was around and selling so long, it let GT4 have legs. I get your point about big news cutting off sales, but I think those announcements have to target the GT audience. 360 didn't really target the GT4 PS2 audience and PS2 outsold the 360 for two years so I don't think attention shifted off GT too much. PS3 launch probably shifted attention, but that was three years after GT4, and very few games sell after that point.

Micheal-5, yes that's what im saying didnt gt4 basically already hit 10 mill when 360 launched? and that's when it basically stopped selling right? and if there is NO console until the holiday's of 2012 then gt5 would have all the time in the world to hit 10 mill and ok you are right about gow2 selling well but there was really nothing to shift focus or hamper it's sale'snow was there Micheal-5?..i believe if god of war 2 would have released a little bit before ps3's launch then it wouldnt have sold as much as it has to this day kinda like final fanasy 12...just like if gear's of war come's out a few week's before 720's launch then gear's 3 sale's will be hampered with..it would probably only reach 4.5-5 mill LTD (not the 6 mill it usually post's) but either way this is all what i THINK so dont get too stirred up in the way i predict thing's :)..either way i still think that gt5 can pull off 7M in emeaa,3.5M in america, and around 700k in Japan and you dont think that it will reach 10M so that's that :)

Michael-5 posted 02/01/2011, 08:19
DeOn - Well the 360 came out almost 2 years after GT4. If you believe the 360 cut GT4's sales (A view I don't share), then the game had 21 months on the market before a successor console. If a Wii successor is released in holiday 2012, GT5 would have 24 months before the release of a next gen console. Granted GT5 gets the extra few weeks of this holiday season. Still God of War 2 was released after the launch of the PS3 and it sold almost as well as God of War 1, so I still don't share you opinion. Even then 3 months won't make that huge of a difference.

Micheal-5, idk because half the time i talk to someone or read comment's about gt4 somebody alway's say's something about gt4 haulting when the 360 came out bt like i said IDK if that's true or not because i never heard of vgchartz at the time that happened or even cared honestly oh and when i said the thing about another console coming out i ment 2011 not 2012 so it wouldnt really matter would it? console's only really launch during the holiday's so gt5 would have damn near 2 year's to reach 10 mill so no my point is not flawed :) and it doesnt matter because a console is a console..doesnt matter if it's a wii2 or a 720...but yea you are correct about forza 4 shifting attention away from gt5 though
Message | Report
Michael-5 posted 02/01/2011, 01:26
DeOn Why would 360 cut off GT4's legs? PGR3 was not that big of a game and in the first year 360 was only really popular in Americas. GT sales are focused in EMEAA, and GT4 sold the most of all the GT's there. If anything, the popularity of Forza, and the release of Forza 4 will shift focus away from GT5 in at least Americas and hurt sales, but regardless these factors are minimal. GT5 could sell 10 million, I'm not saying it won't. I'm just saying a lot of people reading this thread are expecting GT5 to blow past GT4 sales by a large margin, and that just won't happen. GT5 is just matching GT4 sales in EMEAA and Americas and thats with the holiday boost. When sales drop, I can't picture this game holding up as well as GT4, or GT3. Besides a Wii successor is likely to be released in 2012, so your point is flawed as a Wii successor is a bigger deal then an Xbox 360.

Jester - If GT5 stayed above 100k in EMEAA for January, that would mean that sales would be above 100k in EMEAA alone for 10 weeks, which I completly disagree with. I feel GT5 sales are inflated compared to GT4 because it was launched in the peak holiday season, and even then it's not selling that much more then GT4. Wait 10 weeks, sales will drop to 150-200k next week worldwide, and then if it's lucky it will get 100k WW for one more week. My prediction about GT5 has been spot on so far too.

What's going to happen next week? Will sales drop, or will GT defy trends and continue to hold high sales after the holiday boost ends? I think weekly sales will drop and we will see some of the higher 10 million plus predictors change their minds. Only tine will tell, this is the first holiday GT title so it's not accurate to compare it until after the holiday season is over.

@TKC-Muzzer Re: immersion that GT5 achieves. You're right, spending 5+ minutes from the moment you turn on the console (and after each race) to getting on the track, THAT'S immersion. Looking at PS2-style drawn on door panel gaps and trim graphics in this day and age, THAT'S immersion.

@account metacritic doesn't represent the gaming industry. Game devs, publishers and such are the industry. All metacritic does is take scores from random sites, some credible some not, and average them out. GT5:P a demo? It was $40 at retail and according to sony sold over 5 million copies, more than any forza to date. That doen't sound like a demo to me.

If Forza 3 had been released after GT5 it would have a lower metacritic as the driving model in GT5 is far superior and this would have been highlighted in comparison. F3 is overatged (yes I have it). It just lacks that sense of immersion that GT5 achieves and to people wanting a sim that's important.

Well the point is, that they have now all been done in the SAME game rather than in four different ones. Oh and you forgot the karts ... but I guess that Mario Kart did that too :)

@TurismoT "gt5 has more quality than forza 3, there is so much content and an overall better experience." That's so vague. More quality in what? Longer loading times? 800 crap looking cars? Tedious non-progression single player? You mention more content: NASCAR? FM3 has unpainted stock cars so you can paint whichever NASCAR drivers livery you want, and there is more ovals. WRC? Fair enough. Track editor? By all accounts it's severly limited. Night/day/rain? 24 Hour Le Mans did this 9 years ago on the Dreamcast.

Somebody said GT5 wasa system seller. Well I was waiting to part with £300 and get a PS3+GT5, but reading the reviews I won't bother. TurismoT said how do you know what it's like if you've never played. I use the reviews a game gets to evaluate a purchase.. duh. If two Sony funded reviewers give 10/10 AAA, and others give it medicore 7-8/10, chances are it isn't what cracked up to be.

This could potentially be trending ahead of GT4 after next week. I'm confident in my prediction of 12 million. This will almost certainly be the #1 selling GT game in EMEAA, especially once the gap really starts to widen in Asia. It's probably already claimed the crown in that region.

Pretty amazing GT game, quickly becoming my favourite (which is still GT3). Great simulation aspects and it's quite challenging if you try to gold everything (which will allow you to improve your skills). Loving every bit of it.

So this is selling just under 3 times as fast as the Prologue. If it keeps that it'll be at roughly 12 million two years from now. Well, that won't happen but it should be able to reach 9 million at least.

Very disapointed by this game. 1000+ cars, but in fact bunch of same vehicles with different specs. Some huge classic missing (Lb Diablo, F50, F355, F360, CLK GTR, Carrera GT [Still no porches]) but some awesome old school cars and prototypes. Awful vegitation and slow menus. Nope, after all these years, although PD added NASCAR, kart and rally, this game is definitly disappointing.

It's going to be a slow burner. No doubt it will not do shabby first week WW (1.5 million is my guess) but it will have great legs.

For a PS3 game that is, nothing crazy like Kart Wii. The amount of features the game has though will only strengthen the franchise which is scary, no doubt the best selling PS3 title released.

The February 2010 had an exclusive 10 pages article about Gran Turismo 5 and a GT Planet user posted the scans on their forums. Here's what we learn :

- Deformation for every car in the game although race cars will see even more damage
- First screens of GT5's night racing
- 1,000+ vehicles, all with modeled interiors
- Up to 16 players online
- Indy cars and tracks will be included
- Head tracking is reconfirmed and it's for use during racing
- Multi display is back (using 3 PS3's for a wider view)
- HD uploads to YouTube
- Weather
- Night racing for all tracks

- All cars will have cockpit view (the 170 premium are the ones on which the interior will also damage - the rest only external damage)
- Night & Day cycle and weather effects on all tracks
- Damage (visual and mechanical)
