If the Wii suffers another 30% collapse this year, then the PS3 will easily beat it saleswise.

Wii 2009 - 30% = 15 million

Are you saying the PS3 will easily sell 15 million in 2010? (which btw is 20% more than it sold in 2009)

 

The PS3 has yet to release the biggest gun of them all, GT5.

WTF? GT5 is the biggest gun? Over FF13? Over GTA4? Over MGS4? I seriously cannot entertain that concept. Its just a racing game.

That there really says a lot. This "just racing game" is by far the highest selling racing game in history, other racing games can't even reach past its ancles in sales (Need for Speed Underground is the closest with less than half the sales of GT3). While GT 5 may not be the biggest gun on the PS3 this gen, it is certainly among them. MGS 4, FFXIII, GTA IV (both of which are shared on other platforms mind you) and GT 5 are the big guns. Actually, it is guaranteed to outsell GTA IV, it is also almost certain to outsell FFXIII since it that is no longer exclusive and even Prologue can compete with MGS 4's numbers. It may well end up being the most important title on the PS3 ever.

Yes, its just a racing game, the same way New Super Mario Bros Wii is just a platformer.

I just find it hard to believe that there is that large of an interest base for racing games still, at least one that would surpass GTA fanbase or FF13 fanbase

Of course you do. You're American, where the racing fanbase isn't as strong. If you look at the European fanbase, maybe you'll understand more.
