From the other thread, no Kingdom Hearts has broken 100k in the UK.

Wow...is this true? Not even the super-hyped Kingdom Hearts 1? That explains Epic Mickey's sales then.

Sales probably wont see a big boost, but at least we can see why now.

GT5's opening week sales in the UK is the most for any game in the series. In what way is that an indication that it's no longer a sales monster?
Click to expand...

For one it's the first mainline GT game this gen so it should have had great anticipation but most importantly it released during the holiday season, something GT4 did not do yet only just beat it. Have to keep saying it because it's shocking that the advertising for this game in the UK has been terrible, was watching the Real Madrid vs Barcelona
fuck yh 0-5
match and did not see a GT5 advert so I have yet to see the advert here in the UK. Not what you would expect especially since UC2 which is from a smaller franchise was supported so much more, no way is that is for the advertising for this game. Adverts should go widespread for the game in the UK so legs should be good. Heavy Rain, GOW 3, even modnation got more adverts so the latest delay must have fucked everything up. If not then shocker, absolute shocker. Is there any link to the EU advert?

BTW not saying here that it would do Black Ops numbers had it been advertised however not beating FIFA on just the PS3? Someone gone fucked up something special

Anyway:

Sony Spain has announced that Gran Turismo 5 has sold 92,000 units in its first four days in the Spanish stores. The new driving simulator for PlayStation 3 has become one of the biggest releases of the year, meeting expectations, approaching 100,000 units from 24 to 27 November.

Sony has also said that more than 800 people came to a store in downtown Madrid to get your copy signed by Kazunori Yamauchi, the father of the GT series, hours before the official launch of the international game.

The company said that after this release so strong, their forecasts are able to sell 140,000 units in the first ten days, ie until the end of this week, and reach 275,000 units when finished the Christmas season.

Has there been any advertising in the UK at all for this game?

I don't think GT games are particularly seasonal. People will come out and buy regardless of the time of year.

Yeah. That's what happens when you decimate the chief competitor's popularity. Most of the football audience, which had been split for years, has migrated pretty much to Fifa. And they did it on merit too.

edit: I've seen newspaper adverts, but nothing compared to the prologue blitz.

This is one of those rare cases where brand loyality did not matter and the much more improved product won.

Just out of interest has anyone seen ads for Epic Mickey on TV?

I only get forced to watch the Disney Channel once a week but hadn't seen anything during Mickey's Clubhouse. I'd expect it to be targeted to the people who wear the Mickey smashing a guitar TopMan t-shirt.

None at all, either on the kids channels my step-daughter watches, or the mainstream channels (ITV/C4 etc.) the rest of the family watches.

GT5 will do great, I expect 12-15 million lifetime sales and it will sell steadily over the year. Also its a system seller so expect PS3 to have a strong 2011.

15mill is impossible. That will require more than a third of the install base. I'd say 8-10mil

The install base isn't static. It's growing by 15M per year, and GT5 isn't going to stop selling any time soon.

This is optimistic.


I agree that GT5 will have legs but you are not taking in account various factors such as crowd perception towards racing genre these days, changes in brand power, competition as we reach the holidays season or GT4 Prologue to GT4 sales ratio. I could go on.

It is virtually impossible to fix lower or upper bound to its sales with what we have in hands today. We don't even know how much it sold during its first week. And I am sure that Sony would have been loud on this if sales were anything significative for a game that has been hyped for so many years.

There was a fair bit in the Metro (free newspaper aimed at people who don't love cars)

Seeing as some people still feel the need to point out that random games have only been out for 2 days in the chart and shouldn't be judged, it's worth remembering that GT5's launch week accounts for 4 official days and a few unofficial ones before that. I don't know if previous GT's had that chart advantage, but the time of year should see good second week sales anyway.

Imagine what a €199 PS3 will do.
Click to expand...

A 199€ PS3 will have to compete with a cheaper X360 plus some other plateforms.

I agree though that the PS3 has some aces up its sleeves in order to keep its momentum but without data on the competitors and their intentions, there is no way we can deduce anything.

Think about it that way : if Nintendo sells Wii at 99€, everybody who hasn't one, or who possesses a broken Wii, may be tempted to buy one because it has a nice library of games and appeal. Same for X360, same for PS3. And this, because it would be a cheap way to entertain oneself. So people will probably choose a console over other forms of entertainment.

But in this precise battle, who's gonna have the edge ? Will the sales of one contender be completely eaten by another one's ? We know jack shit. And all competitors have enough cash to take prices further down, or launch another cycle like Nintendo with the 3DS.

Technically that's not what I meant. I meant that the PS3 doesn't sell 15M each year. It is true though that it will probably reach that amount this FY.

Looks like someone here knows their sport history.
quick question: Why do you think American football is called American 'football'? is it cause I hear people calling rugby, football, as well?
http://www.rfu.com/

:lol

What did you think the 'f' in rfu and the 'f' in rfl stood for? or do you not watch rugby?
I don't like the use of 'soccer' myself but come on... :lol
