Unless both games turn out really good

You still don't understand then.

If GT5 turns out to be a poor game, and as a result it's legs are cut short and it sells a "mere" 6 or 7 million, it would still have a much bigger impact on the hardware sales than Uncharted would if it was rated the best game of all time.

 

 Someone who understands...

Very few games actually make a huge impact on console sales when they are getting deep into their lifespan. Games like GT and Halo and Super Mario (flagship type games) can really impact the sale of consoles to the "Real world market". However those games need huge ad camps to get the word out and the hype up. The problem with the wild predictions on sales are that some people can not differenciate between the internet and the real world. When you spend all your time on a site dedicated to something specific (ex: video games, ect...) you get focused in on the minority and lose touch with how things really work.
