It is important for people using those numbers to predict similar success in the U.S. for the future because of NPD not counting digital distro units.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

Is that important? That was a marketing guy talking about Europe. What will exit in Europe? A bundle! Can that be preordered by shops? Pretty likely. Welcome to the world of marketing ;) 1 Million easy explained ;)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

I couldn't find GT3 : Prologue in ELSPA GLS list. Does this mean it was not released in UK, or does it mean it didn't even reach 100K GLS ? Anyone from UK can help me ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

the GT4 prologue edition in EU didnt sell very well IIRC but this one obviously is so its a bit hard to predict. i notice uve gone long on it just after i have :), i was on for a 150k day today anyway with 300k in community bonus totalling 450k but this will put me closer to 1.3mil or above if it stays at current price :)[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

In general GT games have sold approx the same in EU vs NA. However, I don't believe the concept of a Prologue has been tested in NA.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids

i noticed that too but if it reaches a million in EU i consider it a safe bet to reach 500k in NA at least unless digital distribution really eats up sales.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

oops my mistake in my hatse i only saw March 28th as the European release date and assumed it was the same for NA. Its not as its being released in NA on April 17/18th.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

will be interesting to see if anyone falls into the trap even with me posting this. The games released on March 28th despite the first month for futures being April so the pre-orders will count as March sales not April and so wont go towards the April future. considering that the future should probably be a bit lower.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

and if it turns out to be a hit and the numbers transfer over to America, i stand to make a killing. first i think there will be a bigger proportion of digital downloads in America than Europe(i know that doesnt support my opinion). but if Europe (which is a similar sized market to America) can do one million in pre-orders already with 10 days to release, even if that does count bundles, it should do well over that after two weeks of release making it closer to 1.5milion especially after downloads. i think that sales will transfer over to the US to some degree and if it does 1mil total in April then i think it will be over 500k in hard copies sold.
If it does 500k i make a killing, and if it does 1million (which theres a chance of it doing imo) i make about a 200% return. if it flops and only does 100k or under which could happen then i lose a fortune, but personally my moneys on over 500k. itll be interesting to see whos right come May when the datas released.
