Who cares if I never said this one won't sell over time, I'm saying the PS3 install base will be lucky to ever even get to 60 million so there's not much hope in it reaching as high of sales.

 

 

 

Now this is exactly the type of foolishness regarding this whole thing i cant stand and have tried to do away with this thread.

 

Now Dude Halo3 hit 10m on a 30m user base it came out on a 12m user base, wtf makes you think GT5 wont do similar on PS3?  seeing how PS3 is already at 22 million should be close to 30 before GT5 is released.

What do you think PS3 has to sale for GT5 to pass lets say 10m, and why you think that ?

Are you saying PS3 user base wont grow over the next 2/3 years if so Why the hell you think that.

 

 

 

Halo has a wider appeal to the typical 360 owner, GT does not.

The PS3 is not called the shooter box, the racer box, or whatever box because it has a wide variety of games.  Because it has such a wide variety of games, the user base is much more split.

The Xbox 360 was nicknamed the shooter box because it has a lot of shooters.  While it also has a large variety of games, shooters do well on the 360.  When it's the most popular shooter on the most popular genre of the console, it makes sense that it sells that huge of numbers.

Gran Turismo is a big franchise, but it is not the game that most every typical PS3 owner will run out and buy like Halo is.  Don't take this as a positive or negative on the GT or Halo franchise or quality of either game, that's just how it is.

Why don't you anwser that ?

So a "demo" selling +3 million does not show you PS fanbse is rather hardcore about Gran Turismo, GT5P out selling Forza2 in Europe does not show you just how strong the connection between GT/PS still is ?
