| guiduc said: The previous Gran Turismo iteration sold around 10.5 million lifetime. Gran Turismo 4 was released on February 22th, 2005, while the userbase of the PS2 was about nearly 85 million according to http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS2®1=All&cons2=GC®2=All&cons3=XB®3=All&start=38039&end=38417&weekly=1 If the tendency keeps up, and considering this is the best-selling franchise for Sony... just take a look at GT5 Prologue... http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6972®ion=All You can see there's a keen interest in Europe. Considering the small userbase the PS3 have (likely 34 million when GT5 will launch) versus the 85 million PS2 when GT4 launched, I think, more likely, that it will sell more in Europe, and LTD about 7 million GT5. 3,5 millions Europe 800 000 Japan 2,7 million Americas |
Ok you did some reserch so a good post. But he GT4 user base argument is flawed as hell and has been destroyed.
GT3 released on a tiny 12m user base, sold 14.7 million.
- PS3s user base will in no way hurt GT5 sales. (MW2 did 9 million in what 10 weeks, came out on 34m 360 user base)
- You need to look in at the differance between the first GT of the Gen and the second. First of a gen GT has historically sold better regardless that the second one had a massive 50 or 80m user base to sell on.
GT5p is nearing 5 million (with psn) dude, just saying.
