Do you predict a tight race between 360 and PS3 next year?

No Halo game has outsold GT3 yet.

No, but no GT game will sell what GT3 did again either.  Halo's on the rise, GT's on the downslope.  You people need to stop living in the past.

Actually, GT went up since the PS1 days. Then it went back with GT4. It could easily be a fluctuation. MGS 2 sold high, then it went down with MGS3, and then up again with MGS4. Wait till the game releases, then judge.

I think big series are always open to generational shift playing with sales, the "first next gen" rlease almost always does a little better (though GT5P may work against GT5's favor in this regard then).  GT2's actually the worst selling "main" game in the series though, it hasn't been continual rise since GT1 (which is different from Halo 1 -> 2 -> 3).

The MGS comparison doesn't exactly bode well for GT though, MGS4 barely outsold MGS3 and didn't come close to MGS2.  Using the same logic, wouldn't it be fair to say the same will hold true true for GT5?
