I say GT5 will sell over 1.5 million first week.

Any takers?

I'll take you up on that. What are the stakes?

It should be able to crack about 10 million, but that might take about 4 years...that's a pretty long bet lol

I really don't know what to predict for this one. For one I think sales may take a slight hit due to Prologue having been on the market for so long, and in all regions. Casual race fans may be more than happy with what they already have and decide not to upgrade. Additionally there is a legitimate competitor in Forza 3 that will take away one more reason 360 only owners may have had for buying a PS3 as well. On the other hand, the series historically does big sales, and will most likely be bundled at some point in it's lifetime as it's sony's true flagship titles.

I'm going to go with a broad 7-12M guess because there are just so many different ways this could play out. As for first week, between 1 and 2M.

Forza may be a legitimate competitor for Xbox fanboys but not in the real world. Gran Turismo 5 will sell gangbusters 10 million in 2009 15million+ ltd

LMAO

6 mil WW at most.



Only an ravid X-Box Fanboy would put Forza as something with any shot to sell half what GT5 does. GT5 is going to be massive, particularly in Europe. 10-13 m LTD.

You think it will sell under 1.5 million WW first week? Lol...I put that up there as a joke, I didn't think anyone would take it.

VG$ bets would be nice, but I know that everyone with power will continue to conveniently ignore my thread, so whatever. Good old sig and avatar control? I have no grudge against you, so a week would be enough.

So I say it will sell 1.5 million plus first week, you think it will sell less.

DARTH!

@kantor

ok I WILL add that in

the TEMPORARY stake will be sig/avatar control for 2 weeks

you guys can change them however you want within 1 week.

after 1 week the STAKES are set in stone



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

15m lifetime.



I expect week 1 will be at least 2,000,001 in sales.



@CGI

wanna take up the bet with him?

I still think that people are greatly overestimating the selling power of Racing Sims this generation. I know that GT5 will sell great and I'm thinking 7 million LT to be honest. Just from past trends to me it seems that the market for racers is sinking. Also unless the ps3 install base is larger by the time GT5 releases I just dont see it being able to carry a Racing sim to over 10 million units sold.

Personally I doubt we'll see the success of GT3: A-Spec since it was a massivley bundled game.
