lol at all the GT5 hate...from what i've seen most all last gen titles have surpassed their predecessors. 

Not Sony's.  From what I can tell, the only one that really has is Killzone 2, which was insanely hyped/pushed this gen compared to KZ1.  Pretty much every other Sony franchise (Ratchet & Clank, Hot Shots Golf, Siren, Singstar, BUZZ, Boku no Natsuyasumi, etc) has taken an appreciable tumble.  GOW3 might beat out it's predecessors too, but again it's prominence has been greatly increased this gen compared to last.  I don't the same will really be true for GT5.

Siren? How would you know, we don't have original Siren's numbers.

And if we want to get REAL technical, Blood Curse is already higher than Siren 2.

If you want to get technical, you should really compare like with like (ie: Siren 1 to Siren 3), though there are some problems there.  My real point is though that Sony franchises aren't hitting the same highs on PS3 they were on PS2.  Franchises just aren't surpassing what they were on PS2, that significant userbase reduction does have an impact.

I have Famitsu figures for every Siren if you're curious... they're probably the best thing to go on really...

  • [PS2] Siren (SCEI) 121,114
  • [PS2] Siren (PS2 the BEST) (SCEI) 43,184
  • [PS2] Siren 2 (SCEI) 85,457
  • [PS3] Siren: New Translation (SCEI) 66,269
