Then we will have to wait and see won't we? Personally, I think you have a very logic reasoning on how GT5 can sell less, yet that doesn't explain then why GT5:p sold such huge numbers, even without factoring bundles and DD from PSN.

You can't also forget that GT is a household name and a banner holder for Sony, it's the most recognizable sony franchise, and it's on par to what Halo is for Microsoft and Mario is for Nintendo, so it will sell on name alone, so you can't compare it to any other game.

Plus, the change in raw userbase and demographics can't explain why other household games of the PS2 that made the shift for PS3, managed to outsell their past iterations on the PS2, mainly MGS4 selling more than MGS3 and others selling almost on par, like Ratchet and Clank.

If those games, which don't have a fraction of the fanbase of GT can do it, why wouldn't GT do it as well?
