Will the PS3 ever have a game of 10 million in sales or more?

use the 360 as a yardstick, 30m sold and the highest selling game (Halo 3) has sold what 9m copies? (havent checked it in a while to be fair, but i think its somewhere between 9 and 10m)

so, if we assume that Gran Turismo or Final Fantasy get unbelievable reviews and sales hype, then we make another assumption that the PS3 userbase will at some point in this generation pass the 30m mark, then yes, both GT5 and FFXIII have an outside chance of 10m.

perhaps more realisticly, its fair to say that the only way any game can sell 10m on PS3, is if the PS3 userbase reaches 40 or 50m.

Yes, this is roughly the same reasoning I made to guess a 40million user base as a reasonably safe condition to make it happen.

There are two things that balance each other: Halo 3 is really huge, this would make XB360 need a smaller user base to make it reach 10million, but Halo 3 launched when XB360 user base was smaller than PS3 current one, this could help biggest PS3 titles launched from now on, in comparison, as most spoiled gamers are more likely to buy a game when it's new.

IMVHO Sony should from now on constantly bundle one or more out of a selection of its most renowned 1st party games with every PS3 sold, to build phenomena just like Nintendo did with WiiSports.
