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?

: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

lol I am aware it is called "rugby football" but when you have another game that is completely different to it that's already called "football", which is the logical choice out of the two?

Amerigoball.

This is a good one too.

Gridiron?

American Football is named logically enough, it's an american form of Rubgy Football. And Soccer is fully a legitimate name for Association Football. I'm willing to bet that there are enough people in america who know that soccer is also known as Football around the world.

I just saw on gameblog.fr that SCE France announced the numbers for GT5 in France: 235,000 units since launchday (!). GT4 on PS2 did 144,000 at launch, as a comparison.

So nice to see Gran Turismo taking over Europe! Vrooom Vroommmm The first time in a long time I bought a game in a physical store instead of importing from UK just to have it day one...

Gran Turismo 5 achieves the 6th largest PS3 launch week

6th..? After all the hype and 5 years I expected it to be the PS3s absolute biggest?

Fuck all marketing.

Do you really expected a racing game to sell better than Call of Duty and the FIFA series in the UK? :lol

It will be. Fifa, CoD have annual iterations that replace the last years version. GT5 is going to be here for the looooong run (could not help it hehehehe), a large percentage of PS3 owners will buy it some where along the line of the console life cycle. It will sell huge, and others already posted numbers that showed that it did better than any other previous GT in UK/France and probably everywhere else.
