Gran Turismo 5, the first 20 million selling GT... maybe.

I would also like to point out that no games have reached 20m units on a console other than Nintendo games and most of those were heavily bundled. If GT5 even managed 15m units it would be phenomenal while breaking 10m would be amazing.

Did you know, that Nintendo has 25/35 games in the +10m sold category that VGChartz has tracked (probably missing some PC sales)

EDIT: and of course the +10m category is on a single console, so some multiplatform titles may actually reach that level.

I know.

Do you see Sony massivly bundeling GT5 ? from launch all the way past Xmas 2010.  I do what you think.

GT5 can be heavly bundled in every marklet in the world, it wont offend any one or get on any ones bad side, its just cars.  Does sony have any other game to bundle on such massvie amounts.  GT5 is their cash cow and they will milk her through bundeling. 

GTA SA did +20m on PS2/360 MW2 might do it, over multi platforms of course.

They may bundle it, but probably like Uncharted or Motorstorm in the past. The bundle will be there, but the cheaper option would be the console only for people who don't want the game. While those games got large boosts in sales, I don't expect GT5 to be exclusively bundled (as in the only way to get the system is to buy the game) which is the kind of bundling needed to reach those massive sales amounts. So if I assume GT5 managed 10m on its own, I could see maybe 4m via bundle before they drop the option. Much like Halo, Mario and Zelda, people who are fans of the series may have already bought the console trusting that the game would be good and that it would eventually come out.

Again, 20m is a huge ammount and realistically for GT5 to hit 20m units, it has to sell like Mario Kart Wii where it managed 100k/wk for the entire first year.
