I retract my earlier prediction. I forgot just how huge GT was for a minute. I didn't know the userbase on PS2 was that small when GT3 was released.

My new prediction is 12 million, just under half of the userbase will own GT5 when its out. Its massive in PAL and Japan, and big in America.

 

Did you know how big the userbase was when GT4 released? around 80 million.

 

Ruh roh looks like someone needs to be educated about market saturation, same goes for eliasg.

@JaggedSac GT5 is still a long ways away, install base will increase by then and for the GT franchise 10 million will be no problem at all.

Also seece how do you know people will not buy a PS3 for GT5? I am comparing Forza to GT because that is the closest it has ever got to competition but if you look at the numbers, it is very easy to see why people think Forza 3 will do very small numbers compared to GT5.

A LOT of people pinning hopes on people being  poverty stricken and having to go with Forza 3 because they cannot afford a PS3 for GT5. Never underestimate the power of o powerhouse franchise, Halo 3 released on a smaller userbase then what GT5 will release on and the numbers were great.

Why don't you explain how market saturation fits into this seen as you wont shut up about it?

 

I'm not saying they won't buy a PS3 for GT because they can't afford it, more so there is a Racing Sim just as good on the 360.

Again if Forza 3 isn't going to be bundled I expect the gap to be wider. I think people are over shooting the mark, thats my opinion and you asked for it.
