It's pretty darn obvious that Halo: Reach will sell the most with GT5 being second and FFXIII FAR away in third place. GT PSP was rubbish however I doubt that game has damaged the GT brand too much however from what we know GT5 is an absolute beast of a game. Purty game, 900 cars, weather and night racing, blah blah blah along with it being from an already big franchise ensures it will be the best selling PS3 title released on the console.
The amount of cross promotion which PD will be able to do with GT5 is amazing though, they hold so many of the licenses besides that of F1. Nascar, WRC, Super GT, IRC and hopefully a decent online will ensure this game has very good legs. Gran Turismo on the box sure won't hurt it either. :P |
What was so bad about GT PSP. It lacked a campaign, but the gameplay itself is great fun, and the replays are amazing to watch. It is the best that you could expect from GT on a handheld console. In terms of sales, it is close to 1m, and should keep on selling for a while {of course, we also have no idea how much it has sold on PSN}

It was an abortion, one of epic proportions. A bits n' pieces game put together to push another abomination also known at the PSP Go, no career mode or online and an absolutely retarded game mechanic where you could only choose a few car companies each day. I have no idea at all how many copies the game has sold however I would be willing to bet that it's no where near 0.97. It did not even do 20k first NPD and has not been on the Chart Track or Media Create since it's second week. That said from the day it was announced I knew it was not going to sell well, have a look at the hate the game has on GTPlanet with 99% thinking it was the reason GT5 was not released in 2009.
In terms of strength though Halo and GT are not in the mega bracket anymore. As you said GTA, COD and the Nintendo games are much bigger so just fighting over some e-winky growth me thinks, each game will sell enough for more so meh. NSMB Wii will sell more than each of them just this year let alone the millions it sold last year so meh, fighting over crumbs here.
I will be so so bitter though if GT5 does not do at least 7 million lifetime. -__-

An abortion? Do you mean abomination?
Anyway, you know days just last 1 event? It is disapointing that you can't have any sort of progression beyond repeating tracks to allow you to try harder settings. I don't care about MP, I have never played multiplayer on PSP. I trust VGC figures enough to believe it has sold that much. Even if it hasn't sold that much in the UK, so nothing on chart track, what about continental Europe? It has been selling about 40k a week, which is not quite enough to get it in the charts, but still pretty decent. I am sure we will get figures from Polyphony Digital's shipment page soon enough
