And as I replied in another thread, GTA4 is not the game of the gen, nor is it even close. MotorStorm does not touch Gran Turismo, the Prologue of GT5 sold better than the Prologue of GT4. Even if it's not 4 million, I say 8 million is a reasonable bet. GTA4 sold 4.6 million, DESPITE being a same-day release on the then far more popular 360. If it was an exclusive, it could easily have reached 8 million, rivalled Halo 3's sales, and put the PS3 in the lead for good. Regardless of its quality, or lack thereof (no it's a good game, but not worth these ridiculous 10/10s) it's a Grand Theft Auto and is guaranteed to sell well. Also, there were some 15 million PS3s when GTA4 was released. By the time Gran Turismo 5 comes out, it will probably be 25-30 million, depending on when it is finally finished.

Where's your logic here? People in general don't care about exclusive or not do you think they were saying '' Oh GTA4 is on PS3 only so I will buy this game '' ? PS3 owners who enjoyed previous iterations of GTA bought GTA4 and people who disliked it did'nt. And in case you dont know GTA4 was a ''two weeks system seller''. It gives a boost of 190k consoles on its first week and 40k on its second week before PS3 came back to its average sales. So there was'nt a massive impact on sales. Anyway GT isnt > than GTA, so there's no chance this game sell 8 millions. 4 millions is a far reasonable bet. If it have great legs it could do 5 millions but not more.
