"Gran Turismo 5 is going to sell double that easily. KZ2 and GoW3 will easily cross 4 million, maybe 5 million. Heavy Rain and inFamous won't sell very well, but they will both be very good games."


To this date
GT 4 sold 9.5 million world wide
KZ 1 sold 1.5 million or so
God of War 2 sold 2.33 million

Your numbers need some major adjusting. 

GT4? Wouldn't it be more logical to compare it to GT3? GT4 was the second in the series on the PS2. GT2 sold worse than GT, GT4 sold worse than GT3. GT3 outsold GT, so it follows that GT5 should outsell GT3.

Of course, that's not happening. GT5 will, however, give a massive sales boost to the PS3 and easily cross 8 million within a year.

KZ1 was, frankly, a buggy mess. KZ2 has been vastly improved. They are not the same game, hell, I think they should change the title to prevent any association.

God of War 2 did not sell 2.33 million, those numbers are out of date. IGN clearly stated that God of War II outsold the original God of War, which sold around 3.5 million copies.

MGS4 sold better than MGS3, DMC 4 sold better than DMC 3, why shouldn't God of War 3 sell better than God of War II and KZ2 better than Killzone 1?
