I was trying to point out how long it has taken GT5 to come along, and that the studio is in development hell. Would you rather have a gaming studio that can release a game every 2 years that sells nearly 5 million copies per, or 1 game every 4+ that may sell 4-5 million? Gears of war, 1 and 2 have a combined total of nearly 10 million (in a few weeks it will be 10million) sales so I would seriously doubt GT5 will do 20 million during its life. That would be the double you were talking about in the original thread. You can spout all you want about previous GT #'s, there is simply no way it is going to have an attach rate of 50%. 4-5 million sales over its life would be good and more than a lot of people expect. |
ITT, he was saying that GT5 could do double either Gears 1 or Gears 2; not double Gears 1 and 2 combined.
Personally, I expect GT5 to sell far more than 5 million. It's the rare sort of game that will just keep selling in high numbers, since it has a timeless quality, i.e. whether you buy it on launch or 2 years later, it's still incredibly impressive and supremely expansive.
