360 will see a 10Million by years end

PS3 has a CHANCE that GT5 could hit 10Million

PSP, if it has a GTPortable... has a chance of a 10Million

Wii + DS are SW monsters.

The only PS3 game that could reach 10 M is GTAIV in the very long run. Maybe GT5 will reach 5 million.

PSP won't see any 10 million seller for obvious reason

 

GTA4 wont see 10Million.

And, you underestimate the power of Gran Turismo.

 

 

 He may be thinking of GT5P, because GT5 will sell 5 million in just others.

No I was talking about GT5. GTA have always been a bigger franchise than GT. The only exception there could have is if Sony decide to bundle massively PS3 with GT5. Otherwise GT5 won't ever reach 10 M.

 

The GTA series was (for a good amount of time, atleast) exclusive. Now it's multiplatform, so the 360 userbase has stolen sales from the PS3 version. However, Gran Turismo is still exclusive. It's not as cut and dry as you make it out to be.

 

Please I won't start a GT5 thread. Like I said in so many other threads on that topic, PS3 isnt PS2. Userbase is completely different so don't expect GT5 to reach numbers of its previous iterations. Also I don't think the franchise is as popular as it was let's say 5 years ago. Remember last gen when everybody talked about Gran Turismo now there is not a lot of hype around it except among some hardcore gamers on the Internet.

As to know if Sony will bundle the game or not, I really don't know because if they are doing that they will lose a lot of money and everybody know Sony need money these times.

So here was my point of view on the matter.

 

The userbase of the PS3 is completely different from the PS2? And you base this off of...absolutely nothing? Why not actually provide evidence instead of just assuming we're all dumb enough to believe everything you say? Why would games like Ratchet and Tomb Raider sell as well as they do if the PS3 userbase was completely different from the PS2 one? Oh, right. There is no good reason for that, because what you're saying is just an assumption. I remember figures from a while back saying that the majority of the PS3 userbase were PS2 owners (which actually makes sense), but then again, I'd love to see what sources you have.

People still talk about Gran Turismo. How do you think Prologue sold so well? People not talking about it? It's still a popular series, and even a series that hasn't seen a release in a while can be revived upon a whim. And how do you know there isn't a lot of hype for GT? There hasn't been much news for GT5 lately, so of course you're not going to hear about it. That doesn't mean that when it's released, nobody will buy it. And your point about hardcore gamers on the internet was pretty lame. Heck, I could say the same about Wii Fit. Not because it's true, but because it doesn't have to be true.

Sony doesn't lose a lot of money on bundles. What does a disc cost to make, a couple dollars? I'm not an expert on the matter, but it's not much considering Sony's other losses. In fact, they just announced a new Ratchet bundle and another bundle for Infamous! Ha ha, could you be any more wrong?
