i just cant see a 360 gamer buying the "other" console to play GT5.
FORZA series is a great alternative, and for many people (including me ) a better simulator from Grant Turismo...

 

Many people still do not own a console, 360 owners do not have to buy a PS3 so GT5 sells well. Nice to see you like Forza more than GT and people agree with out, thing is that for everyone who does agree with you ___ people disagree. We will see what that number is when both games increase.

Forza 3 is going to have to be something special to outshine GT5. I seriously doubt Turn 10 have the budget PD do or the manpower, also the time so things not looking too bright.......

Also tyrannical have a look at GT5: Prologue sales and you will see they are pretty darn good. Then have a look at what previous prologues have sold compared to the full game and you will have a mind fuck. "Real fans" does not mean there stupid enough to fork out £25 for what is essentially a beta you are paying for.

Budget doesn't matter here... Turn 10 has one advantage they have never had before. They get to sell their game on a system with much larger sales in the western world. Furthermore if a combination of gameplay and marketing clicks with people they could pull in some pretty big numbers for sales.
