Will God of War III and FFXIII outsell Halo 3's opening week?

Are racing games still that popular to push GT5 sales to Halo 3 levels on a system with a FAR smaller userbase? Genres go in and out of vogue, and I don't see GT5 doing 10 million given the situation the system its releasing on is in. It'll do exceptionally well, but not GT3 (which was heavily bundled) or GT4 levels. People can argue all about the sales of GT3 and how it proves so clearly that GT is more popular than Halo, but it's not 2002 anymore. Times change, tastes change and situations change. The Brits owned more of this world than any other empire in history, but that doesn't change the fact that all they have now is their own island and some overseas territory.

If Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, a PROLOGUE mind you, is any indication of what GT5 will do, I think you're going to be sorely mistaken.

 

But the thing you don't take into account is that it has the GT name on it and any playstation fan that owns a PS3 would have bought it.  If halo came out with a demo like game called halo prologue (or something along that line) it would most likely sell at least 75% of the sales that halo 3 is selling.  But i guess time will tell, and we'll see who was right and who was wrong...
