"those sales numbers could only apply to the two single days that it was available on store shelves. This, of course, is in addition to the one million European pre-orders and does not include the number of times the game has been purchased via PSN."

It's also less than the average cost of new games. The people buying this know what they're getting.

You would think that, but you will still have a hell of alot of cases of "WTF I ALREADY BOUGHT THAT" syndrome.

The game is bundled with the PS3 over here in Europe, so that's why it's 'selling' so fast.

No, incorrect. Yes, it's bundled with it, but people clearly want GT5: Prologue because they're choosing that paticular bundle rather than the plain one.

Stop complaining first off there is Prologue into the game's name. Secondly when did GT 4 come out, yup looooong time ago. Fans wanna see the game play it, so Sony gave them a "demo" or a taste before the real thing. It also sells less than a full copy (but the fact that it has more tracks and cars than majority of other racing games makes it somewhat equitable) But don't forget the #1 reason is Fan service, which obviously you ain't one.

Depends. If the store keeps playing the trailer and the salesperson tells me all I need to do to get that prety game on their tv is top up a few euros, I probably would even if I know nothing about the game.

GT sells around 10 millions, so 1/5 ratio would be reasonable for a demo +/-

Europe has had a GT Prologue game before. I highly doubt there will be much problems with what your thinking.

I am going to buy it because it intrests me and i believe that the company did a great job on making a stunning game and a great racing game. I know its only aprologuebut i am still very interested in it. Also i play warhawk and COD and GTA comes out a week or 2 after prolouge does in america so lack of games is definatly not a problem for me.
