GT3 dd exceedingly well in the US. sold over 7 million. GT4 sold close to 3 million. I think america is a good market actually. Japan is market that sells the least for every GT game. Mainly cause the japanese market is the smallest and continues to shrink every year.
I am loving it. I know how you must be feeling though. that's how i felt during the RPG craze of the PS1. I HATED those stinking RPG's...still do. I played a couple Ff games and at the very first random battle bullcrap it lost me. and at the take a turn to hit each other and i must just stand there and watch a guy doa spell that takes 5 minutes and not just run....yeah, u get the point, i hate rpg's. But as you said, it won't last forever. the next gen will be the gen of dati...
Its still about 15 million off mario kart, the best selling racing franchise of all time, as recognised by guiness records.
But regardless, the press release says sold, so where are you guys getting this shipped stuff from?
Looks at GT5 week 1
Looks at Halo and CoD (PS3) week 1
looks like the haters weren't wrong.......
Only when you compare though. If you take this gens best sellers out of the equation (Which just happen to be shooters on BOTH consoles), it was a darn good opening week.
"not everybody peruses game sites every day and gets their information from up to the minute sources like the internet. "
and even FAR LESS get info from magazines, LOL. those things are still around? I thought they all closed down.
If a game sells 10 million, only about 2 million if so much are magazine readers/internet readers about gaming.
The majority of people know a game is out when they see the ads. And that ad (stupid as it ...
Most definitely. It has that undefinable thing i call a sweetspot. Its when you seem to become one with the car and track and start to hit every apex perfectly. Love that feeling. Until you miss your brakepoint and mess up your nurburgring lap on the second to last corner cause you got greedy like a piece of....ok calm down....calm down. I'm good.
Oh sorry Jake, thought it was Stalin. Your communist thoughts caught me offguard. Welcome to America my friend. Where people have different opinions from you and its OK. You are no longer communist Russia
You don't need the mindset of. "There are two opinions in this world, mine....and the wrong one."
@Strickers. Oprah pushed CoD in people's faces?
Calm down people. Lets not start the "This will be greatest game ever released" thing again. It backfired once, lets keep a cool head this time, shall we?
Well i would hope so, seeing as its been around for almost twice as long as halo, and about three times as long as gears and forza. Not to mention those games have sold to user bases of combined sales (xbox + 360) of less than the PS1.
Good news for the second best selling racing franchise ever. Just about 15 million more to catch mario kart, which interestingly has also only released 6 games throughout its history.
Edit: I do wonder what GT5 would be like i...
Parappa the Rapper MOVE!!!!
Would be SWEET!!
How dare they buy what they want with their money. They should only like and enjoy what troy likes and enjoys. Huh Stalin?
If these are real, GT5 is still doing well, however, it looks like Black Ops (PS3) will overtake it next week again. That game is a beast. just got off of it on PSN and every room is packed. that's the big advantage of a high selling game. No matter what mode you want to play, there are full rooms playing it. Unlike a game like FM3 where i had to struggle to get a full room for A-class expert, cause i don't race with no stinking assists. At least before my xbox died again in June anyw...
That's wrong, its about 4 mill on the PS3 WW. i would say about 2.5 mill in the US at least. i just got off of PSN playing some black ops and there were about 300,000 people on there at this hour. Don't these people have work in the morning? They should be sleeping rather than having me kill them over and over, lol.
So the status is thus
Biggest PS3 exclusive week 1 sales. app 2.5 million to app 40 million install base
Biggest 360 exclusive week 1 sales. app 5 million to app 15 million install base
Hmm, will GT5 reach halo 3 LTD sales or will this be the first time ever a Halo game outdoes the mighty GT franchise and hence sells more than any PS3 exclusive. Will be interesting to see in the years to come.
EDIT: Of course the fight really is for s...
The sad thing is. these rabid fanboys make up about 6% of the PS3 audience. So please don't judge all PS3 owners as if they all want to sit at the feet of kevin butler and s his d.
same goes for 360 fanboys. not all 360 owners want to snuggle up in bed with bill. fanboys represent a very SMALL percentage of console owners, therefore polls on websites such as these must always be taken with a dumptruck of salt, lol.
Yeah, like the Microsoft Kin. that sold by the BUCKET LOAD
huh? The best looking game on 360 and the best looking game on ps3 does not look like ps1 vs ps2. its about 5 to 7% better. Not a night or day diff. And its also just a couple exclusive games as the multiplats always look better on 360.
It comes down to games you like. If you like heavy action shooters, 360 is the choice. KZ's controls just don't appeal to very many people, hope they fix it for KZ3. And seeing as this gen shooters are the dominating genre, i don't...
"the wii crushes the 360 worldwide and the ps3 pretty much has pulled even "
so in effect you should say the wii crushes the 360 AND PS3...
on the other hand

Yeah, their taste isn't yours so it MUST be bad. Surely anyone that disagrees with your taste have bad taste cause your taste is the ultimate and everyone else is wrong. Well said Adolf. Screw America and their free country.
I mean, if YOU can't like it, how can they? Its like everyone in the world doesn't have the same likes and dislikes. Almost as if they are individuals who make up their mind on what THEY like. Weird.
