GT selling 15M on a system that hit over 120M was a great feat, but that was when it had no real competition.

When GT5 is released, it will be competing with Forza 3 (which will probably have been released before GT5) and be selling on a system with a much lower installed base than the PS2.

I'm guessing that without bundling, it'll do 4-5M sales. The GT series is losing steam. I have been through every GT made to 100% compeltion but I am at the point no that I don't even care if GT5 comes out. While I wait for that for what seems an eternity I played Forza 2 and now I see no reason at all to go back or remain excited for a game that doesn't exist yet.

Alot of the people that bought that $40 demo were more than a little dissapointed the game hadn' evolved in any way besides from a visual standpoint.

What part of GT3 was released on the PS2 with a 12 million userbase, but went on to sell 15 million....didn't you get?

 

Yeah, it released on a userbase of 12 million, but it took the total 100+ million to gradually work up to the 15 million it sold.

Or do you think every PS2 owner at the time bought it and then 1/4 of PS2 owners actually bought 2 copies?
