The biggest selling GT game is GT3, it sold 14m units. On the PS2 which has/had 130m consoles sold. How is that wrong exactly? The figures i showed are over the entire consoles/games lifetime. GT3 came out around the PS2's first birthday. GT4 came out 4 years after that. GT5 will come out after the PS3 has entered it's 5th year on sale. That is a big change from lastime. If there was no Wii/360 and GT5 was released around a year mark after the PS3 launched then maybe it would have a cance at those figures. But as said above it no longer has that free reign, it has 2 competitors of which BOTH have sold more consoles then it. If you honestly think that won't play a part in the sales this time round then as i also said i just find that laughable. Over the course of the PS3's lifetime i expect GT5 to sell around 8m copies. Nearly double that of the current number 1 PS3 exclusive. Expectiong it to almost treble it is just wishful thinking. |
GT4 slowed gt3s sales. Yet you don't say how many ps2s when the sales slowed you just say total sales. GT4 had a bigger user base but for many people the difference between gt4 and gt3 might not have been enough to get a new game.
Timing matters because you can't say something sold on a huge userbase and then only refer to the current userbase. The current userbase fo ps3s is not comparable to the final base of the ps2 and should not be used as if it's the final base of what the ps3 will be. The ps3 hasen't been out 4 years and it's over 35 million. How many more ps3s will there be when gt5 stops selling? So there will be a userbase big enough to support the gt5 selling very well by the time things are done.
