For this statement to be true GT5 has some big targets to reach!
If we are talking about Next Gen consoles then first week it has to sell 3.8m units, just to be on par with Halo 3.
To put that into some kind of perspective GT5 will have to sell first week x6 what the last GT game sold.
Which means it will have to sell more copies first week then COD:MW2, by nearly 20%. Nearly double the sales of GTA4 first week.
Outsell first week Call of Duty:MW1, MGS4, COD:W@W,Assasins Creed1 2,Resistance,Motorstorm,LBP COMBINED.
I have no doubt GT5 will sell very well. But it won't sell anywhere near those numbers. The top selling PS3 exclusive has sold 4m copies. For it to be on par with Halo 3 it will need to basically triple those sales. I think it is very optermistic to expect that from it.
So no i don't agree with the statement. FFXIII was one if not thee most anticipated game of this gen and it's sales in comparison to the big selling games has been average. I think GT5 will sell around 6m units. If we have learnt one thing from this gen it is that this gen is anything but predictable.
