I dont think the PS3 userbase is currently BIG enough to ensure a 10 million seller.. considering that a title sells over 70-80% of its total sales in one fiscal year, the ps3 base isnt going to grow fast enough for the audience to be interested in that title in such HUGE numbers. Right now any title would have to be bought by 1 out of 2 PS3 owners.. unfortunately no title is THAT compelling. FF13 and GT5 may hit around 5-7 million units at best.. but thats about it.




Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

GT5 will be the only thing that stands a chance.

 Short sighted.

GT games dont have a few months of sales and then nothing, they sale for years like GTA.  And hasent it been said enough times GT3 came out on a 12m user base, ok ai get it understand ?

By the way if you think FF13 hitting 5/7m is possible then GT will have no trouble doing double that.

You have to remember, though. Final Fantasy 13 will be divided between 360 and PS3, much the same way that GTA4 was, so the sales will cut between the two.

Gt5 sure thing.
it will take a while but in the end will.

with high piracy GT4 did, why not GT5? which is much better game.
than other racing game.

"I have seen the future......... it's of a new ip that will sell over 10 million on the PS3

...... it's a first party exclusive, it will be announced in 2010 ... set to release in 2011, but will be delayed until 2012.


But it will be too late to save the PS3 because on the day it hits 10m, the world will end"

A quote from Nostradamus(^^,)

Methinks too many people believe that GT5 will sell like hotcakes... but the driving genre has been done to death. The earlier GTs were very impressive at the time, but simply getting better resolution and even closer to photo-realism than GT3 or GT4 isn't going to cause consumers to break down the doors buying it. They need something new and fresh to hit 10m, and I was hoping that FFXIII would have enough innovation to do it, but now it's split between two consoles.

The sales will be different from GTA IV though, heavily in favor of PS3.


Why ?



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
