360 big in Japan, but new PS3 could usurp lead

[Reasonable]

Sorry, wrong assumption.  The GT prologues (yes there have been others) only sell a fraction of the full title - i.e. not everyone who wants GT buys a preview version first.

Given GT5:P sales based on previous GT sales the potential is there for huge numbers for full GT5.  By the same token it is fair to assume at least some of them will be buying a PS3 at the same time.

Still, at least we know that if you did like GT you would be in the smaller minority that buys the prologue as well!

 

 

Are the prologue GTs tracked separately on VGChartz?  It would be nice to get a quantitative instead of qualitative measurement.

 

I was about to point you in the direction of the numbers... but someone's beaten me to it.

As you can see given its sales on VGCgartz (which are low in the sense they don't include the PSN sales of the game as these aren't tracked) GT5 will likely sell very well on the PS3.  At worst it will produce a modest spike, more likely a fairly good one when it lauches (in other words yes, the evidence indicates it is a system seller for playstations)m particularly in Europe where GT is very popular.
