GT5 will be a 7 million seller at least guarenteed...but as someone said above, by the time it comes out, will the PS3 still be relevant?

I hope so

 

 

7 M at the least? With the shitty sales this gen? Get out of the PS2 era. So you're suggesting that a little less than half of PS3 owners will buy this game? LOL....wow. If it gets 7 M this gen, with the sales of the PS3 installed base, it will be a miracle.

No you should get out of 2007.

Is GT 5 being released tomorrow?? I didn;t know it was

by the time its released 7 million in sales will be "much less than half of the PS3 userbase"

 

 

Look back at my post I made some edits. Anyway as for this post, GT5 should sell very well, but this gen has been extremely disappointing for sales. Whatever it gets, it will still be great for this gen. I'm amazed Halo 3 even sold what it did on the Xbox 360. Are you getting my point? Those sales are a rarity. Besides, a certain chunk of the PS3 owners only use the system as a cheap BD player you know. I don't think that with the slow sales of HD consoles this gen, that those proposed sales for GT5 will be far off from half. I would say slightly improved, but still not far from half. If you want to talk about far from half, I would talk about Mario Galaxy on the Wii.

MGS4 will have outsold MGS3 by the end of this year.

I predicted that MGS4 would sell over 4 M. The reason for this is because it's one of the top games period for the PS3 (There aren't many this gen compared to last). MGS3 was a poorly commercialized title. It's amazing it sold what it did, when God of War 2 got 10 times the commercialization and never sold close to it.

DMC4 is tracking above DMC3 on ps360

DMC4 is a multiplatform title. That is irrelevant, because DMC3 sold only on one system. If it needed to be multiplat to get near to DMC3 then something is seriously wrong with the exclusive demand of PS3 for this game this gen. Also dually noting that alot of people that own a 360 once owned a PS2.

GTA 4 will beat GTA 3 in sales easily by the end of this year

Because it was multiplatform from the get go. If Sony hadn't had a 4 year exclusivity contract with Rockstar to get GTA 3 and Vice city out of the hands of MS, GTA4 would be nowhere near GTA3 in sales. Alot of Xbox owners last gen (Not all) who wanted to play GTA3 were forced to buy a PS2, so the multiplatform sales of GTA 3 was sketchy. You're only making it blindingly obvious how much devs were forced to go multiplat to make enough profit and Microsoft opened that gaping hole into Sony's third party exclusivity (Which was their bread and butter last gen).

seriously if ANYTHING....this gen the 2 "loosing HD consoles" are having software sales like no loosing consoles before them.

Thats obvious. Does it look like the Wii has over 60% Marketshare?

 

I dunno bout your edits....but when you said 7 million is a little less than half of the PS3 userbase....you should've taken into account GT 5 was releasing wen Ps3 is at around 25 - 30 million

So by my estimations you're saying that GT5 is coming out in over 2 or more years?

 

GT 3 released when PS2 was at 10 million.....it sold 15 million in the long run....that moots most of your points

Yeah, whatever you say. I would focus more on the long run sales if I were you. Last time I checked the PS2 reached 30 Million consoles sold extremely quickly, so those sales would've stretched. That 14.89 M units of GT3 that you speak of? They didn't reach those sales until April  30,2008.
