GT5 is going to sell 8 million tops. |
Any reasoning behind that low of a expectation.

1. Look at the the PS3 attach rate from highest to lowest.
2. Increase the highest attach rate (even in bundling) with an extra 3-3.5 million PS3 or game purchases extra deriving from Europe exclusively (Remember this is general).
3. Rememeber that this game is only releasing on the PS3 this gen.
4. Remember the economic set backs whilst looking at sales declines on GT in America and Japan.
5. Compare your expected sales to that of Forza 3 which was also expected to do outstanding numbers in the states (but didn't) on the 360. The 360 can pull off wild numbers, but it just depends on the game and America has not truly responded to Forza.
6. The final reason is that you need to remember that Europe will be the saving grace of this title. 5.5-6 million copies in europe alone and 2-3 million world wide which leads you to an 8.5-9 M sales at the most. I adjusted.

was interesting until the part where you compared forza 3 to GT5.. anyhow the prologue sold 4 million copies plus 1 million download! thats 5 million just for the damn demo! now that is better than any of your statistics, looking at the sales of prologue, id say 8-9 million is a bare minimum.

Don't worry about what I said about Forza. Just add 3.5 M to the sales of GT5 Prologue. Europe is the only one who is going to boost the sales of the PS3.
