Falcon095 - Because GT5 will be a better game, than GT3? Online mode alone will draw many new gamers.
Well, you don`t know, what attach rate was of PS2, when GT3 reached 10 mln.? Neither do i. But i expect it to be very high on PS3 for GT5. Not to mention, that GT4 was released later.

4 mln. was posted on n4g. You do undertsand, that hardcore GT fan will get full GT5 blu-ray disc version for PS3? It`s not about money, it`s about having GT5.
And casual audience, i see a lot of people lately, which are not in racing game, after seeing those videos are willing to try GT5.
Also, it`s not like 140 mln. PS2 userabse moved on Wii?

First of all, Halo 3 is already released and sold over 10 mln., that means, that expansion pack is getting that 10 mln. userbase.
While, there are a lot of people, which still haven`t got GT5P, but will get GT5.


dorbin2009 - racing games have mass appeal on PS3, come on, a Prologue sold 4 mln.!
With massive ad campaign, like now Sony is doing for Uncharted 2 i see GT5 selling a lot. Well, we should wait for Uncharted 2 sales maybe, to see how good Sony marketing is working. But overall, with graphics, which GT5 has, those ads will just make casual people buy PS3 for GT5 alone.

You forget about digital download, GT5P is around 4 mln. now -> http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html .
Because it is the BIGGEST PlayStation franchise, that Sony ever had.

You really underestimating GT selling power, just because other great PS3 games haven`t sold millions.
However, you forgetting about MGS4, which sold around 5 mln. according to Konami.
Not many PS3 games are able to sell that much, but games with big fanbase can.
Well, time will show. Maybe already after FFXIII sales in Japan you people will reconsider your expectations. :)
