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

whats with all the huge insane predictions for game sales these days. Hell even a gaming company themselve is predicting the most sales for their series game EVER.

20 million, ha no. Lets just quickly look at older games sales

GT1 - 11 million PS
GT2 - 9 million PS
GT3 - 14 million PS2
GT4 - 10 million PS2

Not gonna predict what the sales are going to be, but 20 million is a no. But seems should be around 10 million at least.

Hmm was curious to see how many games have even sold 20 million lifetime ever. You should really look at that. Lets ignore Nintendo games, because they just dominate in sales. OK, so no games sold 20 million. Lets list top 7 games and sales. (why 7, who knows, # just popped into head so stuck with it) Just console games too, no pc, so don't say Sims or something.

1. San Andreas GTA - 18.07
2. GT3 - 14.89
3. Vice City GTA - 14.02
4. GT - 10.85
5. GT4 - 10.37
6. Halo 3 - 10.33
7. FF7 - 9.72

Well at least your lucky in that most high selling games are GT games. But 20 million? come on, you seriously expect GT5 to be the best selling game of all time and sell 2 million more than any other game, and on just one console? These are only 1 system sales too, so san andreas has more for xbox and call of duty and stuff may be on list. but still the nly like 12 million or something.

SO out of all games non nintendo only 1 game has ever topped 20 million and that is san andreas. and did it barely.


And here I thought square was making moronic predictions, but their 10 million FF13 seems plausable compared to this.  (have ot make sure to remember this thread for when the game does only 10 million, wow what a flop)
