[QUOTE="Arkano6, post: 5446251]That's great for PD, but I'm not so confident it'll exceed GT4 sales.[/QUOTE]

That means what took GT5 basically near 3 months in every region it took GT4- 10 months in Japan - 6 months in the US and one month in EU to attain.
GT5 has had a strong launch so now it is time to see if it has legs.

[QUOTE="radgamer420, post: 5446315]Both MS and Sony use sold to retail so thats all we have to go on for any game. Anyway it sounds like GT5 is selling quite well.[/QUOTE]
yea this...
there is no real accurate way of finding sales to consumer... thats why you call it "estimate" in NPD, media create and etc.
[QUOTE="smiggy, post: 5446370]Well that didn't take long did it...[/QUOTE]
yup, he works fast.

[QUOTE="Soldier 95B, post: 5446467]What didn't?[/QUOTE]
lol. still playing dumb are we? You know exactly what...
What did I say before? I said PD would announce in January that they sold 7M, because people were still doubting the 5.5M sold initially. I was pretty spot on.
This game sells well over long time. Especially with the support it gets from the devs. I can't remember when a game has got so much support after release... Ever?
EDIT: Never mind

I'm still not following? I am just curious as to what the sold to retail vs. sold to consumer is. I am always curious about that with any game or console announcement. As for support after a game was released, I think GT is near the top. I love that they even had the 3 big Spec updates GT5 Prologue. 1.06 update rocks. Best update yet for GT5.
I hope later this year we could maybe get a GT5 release with all the patches included on the disk as well. Not sure if they ever do that though?

[QUOTE="UberMadness, post: 5446581]well, i saw some interesting comments at N4G and apparently it is sold/shipped more than Halo Reach and Halo 3 during 6 weeks period.[/QUOTE]
That's pretty crazy. So it's basically the fastest best selling exclusive this gen? Kinda crazy since GT has never been front loaded. So in the end it will be the fastest AND best selling exclusive this gen. Nice work!

[QUOTE="FonFahbre, post: 5446266]Sony of America really needs to advertise the game here in the states. I get the feeling that, Gran Turismo 5 will exceed GT4 sales in, Europe.[/QUOTE]
The sales in europe have alot to do with the driving culture.
When you break GT5 down to it's core you get one of the best racing games out there on the market with the best visuals I have ever seen.
Popped in GT5 the other day just to whip round the track and I nearly wet myself a little it looked that real.

[QUOTE="Soldier 95B, post: 5447306]It's my understanding that software sales on NPD are from retail to consumer estimates.[/QUOTE]
1. Those are estimates.
2. There is no uniform source for the entire world. At best you get solid info for around 15 regions.
3. What rad and bit mean, is that you will never get the sell through data (at least their internal calculations) from the big three if they attempt to talk about sell through they normally quote a third party tracker and they only seem to do it for one region at a time. Like Microsoft does with NPD and Nintendo does with charttrack. This absolves them of being reported as giving out inaccurate information. They paid for these estimations, the accuracy of these estimations they released are on the heads of the respective reporting companies.

Those figures are for December and roughly the first 6 weeks and not for February and the first 3 months
