8 million? You have got to be joking. You are saying that a game coming out in spring, with a console userbase less than a third of the ps2's, can sell similiar numbers to GT4? Its "minimum" will be somewhere between 4-5 million, and I'm not sure what time period you are referring to either, LTD i suspect. To answer others above me, SONY would not get $60 for each game, it actuality it would probably be closer to half that. Factor in a 100+ development team and 4+ years of development PLUS a massive advertising spree and I think most of the users estimates of SONY's profits are overestimated. It will make a profit, just not as big as gt3/gt4 etc.

Yes. halo 3 did it' and it's less popular than GT worlwide.

umm, on current gen consoles, halo is more popular than GT...

GT5: Prologue > Halo Wars

Also, @ The red. What happened with MGS4 > MGS3, for example?

What? How about Halo 3 and eventually  Halo ODST> Gt5:P?

Also at your red, yes MGS3 sold more than MGS4, but MGS is more of a niche game than GT and came out at a good time, trust me GT5 will NOT outsell GT4,GT3. 8 million as a minimum is just too high.

I was giving you an example of how it can't be proven, because we don't have a full GT game this gen on PS3. We have the Prologue to the main game.
It's really daft to compare Halo and GT and say which one is bigger until both have the main game released.

How do you know it's too high? Do you have a time machine? No main GT game has sold under 9 Million copies. I personally don't expect it to be any different here.

No, if you want to be like that, I didn't bring up halo, xoj did...

Also, do you have a time machine? How do you know it will sell 9 million or more? You are comparing GT3 and 4 with a console userbase of 133 million with one of 26 million. GTA is a bigger series on ps2 than GT- san andreas etc- and its sequel, arguably one of the most hyped games this gen, has sold 5.9 million.The PS3's highest selling game. So youre saying a minimum of 8 million? Nope.

Yes because GT3 released to a bigger userbase than GT4.....
