So everyone is saying that Mario Kart will sell almost as much as Grand Theft Auto? Because Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto numbers are close. You have got to be kidding me.

Gran turismo 4 sold 8.79 million on a console with about 100 million+ owners, Double dash sold about 6.6 million on a console with 22 million, MKDS sold 8.28 on a console with less than 60 million units sold, the attach rates on the ninty consoles are much higher than that on the sony consoles

You can't apply that to GT5. Like i've said before, GT sells more when it makes its debut on a next gen console. Check the attach rates of GT3 to the PS2 when it came out and you'll see my point.

PS2 had 4 million at GT 3's launch, PS3 willl barely have two, not to mention PS2 was the console leader in the japanese marketplace, PS3 is a weak second

Look at all regions, not just Japan. And this game sells more in the US and Eu separately than Japan.

Sure but Japan is a big chunk, not to mention PS3's install base is very different than PS2's, PS2 was the causual console, PS3 is not, even in NA and others I don't expect GT 5 to do what GT3 did

 Excuse me, I'd just like to point out that inother threads, you've told me (many times over) that the PS and PS2 were/are in fact NOT casual. You are very inconsistent.

Casuals as in terms of nongamer casuals or casuals in terms of casual gamers, in that thread we were arguing over the nongamer casuals, those who are into things like Wii fit and Brain training, this is casual gamers, the people who are into things like Madden

 

There is a distinction, although the terms used are confusing i'll admit
