I doubt BioShock 2's ability to sell 4.5 million. Generally, same-console sequels without massive advertising budgets (like MGS, GT), sell less than the original. I'd predict around 2 million on 360, 1 million on PS3...you think the PC version can get 1.5 million? I suppose it could, but I would personally replace that with Killzone 2 with around the same number, maybe a little higher.

Oh, and GT5 won't sell below 9 million.

 

 U mite be rite abot sequels in general selling worse, but actually I think Bioshock on the X360 underperformed considering the rufly 95% Gameranking score. It's at 2.2 mill isn't it?

And if Bioshock 2 has simultaneous release on PS3 it will sell well past 1 mill. Acoording to Shio Bioshok sold 1 mill on PCs, so the total at 4.5 mill for Bioshok 2 I think is very reasonable.

Why are u so sure about GT5 selling like the predecessors? I have a feeling racing games aren't as big as they used to be, plus the lower install base PS3 mite affect sales a bit too.

 

 

Absolutely right. Just look at these!

and Forza MotorSport sold an incredible 1.01 million in the West, while Forza 2 only did a paltry 4.32 million!

Racing is practically niche!

Oh, and the lower PS3 install base didn't affect DMC or MGS, why would it affect GT?
