^ What wow effect had Halo 3? GTA 4?
Anyway, in 5 weeks FFXIII will be released, though Uncharted 2 sales already showing some positive signs.
And MGS4 won`t stop selling. It will be over 5M next year.
GT5 will sell over 1M in Japan, maybe 2M+.

MGS4 sales dropped off a cliff after launch.  It's only going to get a push when it's a GH rerelease, and even then it won't come close to MGS1/2 figures.

1m for GT5 in Japan is unlikely, 2m is frankly impossible.  This isn't Mario Kart.

MGS4 sold better than MGS3 on a smaller userbase. MGS4 still continue selling, it probably will be 4.5M-4.7M on VGC after this Christmas and 5M+ LTD on Konami site. And selling additional 1.5M in next 3 years with average 10k per week, which include 3 Christmas boost is nothing impossible.

GT5 is first full GT game, which will have full Online mode. Nobody cares? We shall see.

MGS4 was well overshipped upfront.  It did outperform MGS3, but it had far heavier promotion too and wasn't coming off MGS2's mixed reception.  I think it's similar to what happened with DMC2/3/4.

And stop putting words in my mouth, of course people will care about GT5.  About 7-8 million of them.
