Anyone else see the irony in the reviewer giving the game an 8.0 for inconsistency when he gave NFS Shift with its 40 ugly, crappy handling cars a higher score?

from being the overhyped game of this gen, GT5 is slowly becoming the most underrated game of the year. rofl. :lol:

:lol: spot on. When you're driving down the Nurburgring in the cockpit of a McLaren F1 nothing comes close to this game. It's my GOTY.

No, I was talking about the scores being inconsistent. And read the edit.

Edit. nvm. I was absolutely certain that game scored 8.5 here, but it was actually a 7.0.

He is? It doesn't say anything about sources in the post.

The text in his article is exactly as the one in VGchartz article.

I see. So no actual sales info yet.

We won't have to worry with this one. Polyphony updates their site with the latest sales figures constantly. We'll never be in the dark as to how well it's doing.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]That....doesn't make any sense, GT isn't as big as it used to be, it's old news, why would it sell so well?Floppy_Jim

Watch the lemmings change their story now. One guy already tried it :lol:

only the 6th largest PS3 launch? the way this game was hyped it should have been the largest gaming launch everHarisemo

Sit down :roll: unless you've been on a gaming forum in the last 2 weeks you wouldn't even know it was released. This game has a fraction of the marketing budget of GTA and CoD and FIFA has exploded in the last few years. With all this against it, it still managed to have the best opening for a Gran Turismo game. You can't spin this one. It's doing amazingly well.

GT5 selling well in Europe? :shock:

Grawse

They know what's good :P sadly, hardcore games are dying in Japan and America will do its best to reject this game. But overall it will sell 9-10 million copies I think.

Sony's long awaited 'Gran Turismo 5' starts the race in pole position. It's been over five years since the previous iteration (released on PS2 in week 10 2005) and over two and a half years since the sneak peek 'Gran Turismo 5: Prologue'.

Benefitting from a Wednesday release Gran Turismo 5 achieves the 6th largest PS3 launch week and is 6% up on Gran Turismo 4 launch week sales. Activision Blizzard's 'Call of Duty: Black Ops' (-42%) has therefore been demoted to No2 and Ubisoft's 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood' (-32%) also falls one place to No3. EA's 'FIFA 11' ( 76%) and Ubisoft's 'Just Dance 2' ( 24%) hold their positions at No4 and No5 respectively, overtaking EA's racing title 'Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit' ( 2%) which has slipped down the grid to No6. Nintendo claim the next three positions with 'Wii Party' ( 63%), 'Art Academy' ( 220%) and 'Wii Sports Resort' ( 1%) at No7, No8 and No9, with 'Art Academy' seeing the highest rise in the chart from No27 to No8, boosted by TV advertising.

Bethesda Softworks' 'Fallout: New Vegas' ( 97%) is back in the Top 10 this week, up from No13 to No10. Outside of the Top 10 we have a zombie take on Rockstar/Take 2's western with 'Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare' debuting at No14 and Ubisoft's 'Michael Jackson: The Experience' at No32.

Great start for Gran Turismo 5 and from what I gather, it's doing even better in other European countries. The 5 games that opened better on the PS3 in the UK are Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, GTA IV and the last two FIFA games.

Epic Mickey failed to chart :lol:

[QUOTE="soulitane"] Fallout 3 did it, so why can't they.soulitane

I'm pretty sure the patch is going to include leaderboards and/or other online improvements.

I don't understand some of the reviews. Are they playing the same game? I think this is a case of being victim to the hype more severe than I've ever seen.
