Come on guys if GT5 hits the 5 millions it would be a great feat this gen. We can't compare with sale figures of last gen because the userbase is completely different!

A good example is GTA franchise, previous generation saw sales of 17.79M (GTA:SA), 14.20M (GTA:VC) and 11.60M (GTAIII). Now GTAIV is only at 5.56M and is the PS3 best selling game.

GT5:P is not doing very well too, considering it is massively bundled in Japan and that the game is only at 3 millions (while the only GT game on the PS3 yet).

All gta´s on ps2 come out before x-box, so it was "almost a ps2 exclusive". GTA 4 was released

simultaneously in 360/ps3 and 360 had ( and has ) a larger userbase.

GT4 prologue sold 1,36 m on ps2, less than a half of the 3 million of GT5 prologue on ps3.

Metal gear solid 4 sold approximately the same as MGS2 and 3.

By these numbers GT5 can outsell Halo3.

That's only if you ignore PS3's userbase which...

..is larger than the ps2´s in 2001, when GT3 was released in April. Read this thread :

http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=14781 ( ps2 2001 = ps3 2008)

Can´t find the april 2001 ps2 user base, but in may 2002 ps2 reach 30m.

(I´m not a sony fanboy, i´m just trying to understand these numbers)

Anyone known ps2 userbase when gt 3 was released back in april 2001?
