for the GT5 one, it goes to show you the force that is the GT Franchise. For a prologue to a game to sell almost as much as a full game on a system that has lower hardware number is astounding.

people really do love their Gran Turismo

Nice spin, but wrong spin. Remember that Forza 2 was bundled for the better part of 3 months during the holiday period, and Chart-Track does count bundled sales (See Kung-Fu Panda/Lego Indiana Jones). It'd be nice to see un-bundled sales of Forza 2, they're probably much lower than GT5: P

GT5

was bundled as well

Spiegel · Mar 3, 2009

Those are some great sales for Halo 3, Uncharted and the psp GTAs.

Woops

Always love new numbers. Would have been nice to have GTA IV, AC 360, ME as well as some others. Forza 3 is going to be a beast.

AranhaHunter · Mar 3, 2009

Just noticed that GOW COO sold like shit, I thought GOW was more popular in the Yuro.

Psychotext · Mar 3, 2009

I wonder if any other 360 game will ever make it to diamond.

FrankT · Mar 3, 2009

That is a million right? GTA IV 360 has to be close if that older leak is right (IIRC 900k or so).

Erm, obviously it was, but to the extent of Forza 2 (every pro/elite sold?), no.

I think DJmeister was the first one to post that earlier leak. Off the top my head I have no clue which individual thread I saw it in, but it was one of the PAL Chart threads IIRC. I also do not know if they were ever verified.

Oh yea, I hope Uncharted 2 fares better than the first. It deserves it if it is as good as the first, which it will probably be even better if I had to guess.

GOW I and GOW II are between 100k and 200k. The psp version is going to reach that mark

eh? It's not. It sold about 900k in its first month in the US. It sold less than a quarter of that in the UK

Dunno about the rest of Europe.

You could only buy the GT5

bundle at one point.

You're making excuses where you don't need to: Both games sold very well. Bundled or otherwise.

I never said they didn't, I was simply stating that one game sold better than the other. But really it's nothing to argue over, it's just sales numbers, I was just trying to bring a bit more correct-ness (lol, not a word) into the situation, but I agree, both were bundled, to a large extent, and it helped in sales of each, how much so will never be known, so it's a moot point.

Is 900k first month in the US verifiable? It sold less than 1/10th of that in the UK. I just thought GOW was more popular in Europe.

Are you sure? I think Sony always had more than one SKU.

eh? go look at the March 07 NPD. and no, GoW is not more popular in Europe. There's no reason for IT to be MORE popular

nm, i found it for you.

Man Capcom really undershipped Street Fighter IV in the UK.
It's sold out everywhere.

He's referring to the PSP title.

in UK, most PS3 games are bundled... thats how they sell it at 300-330 GBP. And GT5P was also sold via PSN and 360 has like double the install base

nobody is creating Week 09 thread? Not interesting anymore?

AranhaHunter · Mar 4, 2009

Yes I meant PSP GOW and I never meant GOW being more popular in Euro than in the US, just more popular overall.

GOW PSP is at 700k+ in USA (without bundles)

Well, GoW is popular overall. But hey, if pirates can download, they will

Psychotext · Mar 4, 2009

Looking at the PSP games in the list... sales are much stronger than I would have thought.

forza was given for free with every bundle possible in europe. like in 10 different bundle. seriously

SolidSnakex · Mar 4, 2009

Just to put Prologue's numbers into perspective, GT4P's lifetime sales for all of Europe was 410k.

This shit really doesn't belong in any sales age thread. We have no real idea of the piracy rate on most consoles outside of anecdotal evidence. Talk of pirating affecting sales is so inconsistent and quite frankly baseless, it just gets a bit annoying.

It's practically the same as the UK chart.

MS was giving Halo Wars away for free for every console in down under if I remember correctly.

Don't think they include bundles.

It not a bundle. They are still it seems, giving the game for free , as in buy a console and get the game free.

SO you think that made the difference? Apparently it was very close.

Hold on, how are these All formats, when Street Fighter IV is separate on the consoles? All Format usually means they are combined, with individual format charts separating them...

All Formats doesn't neccessarily mean they are combined, just that all formats are included. Individual format charts are 360/PS3/Wii/etc only charts.

OK...just weird because UK Charttrack (also Gfk) call their All Formats the combined one. But yes, I suppose that makes sense.
