its been confirmed today that GT5 has a weather system, track editor and go karts! seriously i think this is going to be the best selling in the series even beating GT3 sales of 14 million plus!

Holy crap!  If that's true, than I think your prediction may be right.  It sure will help push sales past 10 mil.

@ hus

Yea, it's funny how 360 guys ignore the fact that GT5 has those brands now.  As if it won't help sales at all.  It will probably help sales in the US.  And it sure as hell will help sales in EU.  I doubt it would happen,but it would be funny if Halo: Reach sold less than Halo 3.  

What's even more funny is the biased logic people are using to try to "prove" GT5 will do less than Reach, or even less than previous GT's.  I mean first you got people saying Reach will have less competition than before.  Really?  What about Medal of Honor, which is releasing a month after Reach?  More importantly, what about CoD:Black Ops, which releases not even 2 whole months after Reach?  Are we really going to ignore the fact that the CoD has grown to become one of the largest FPS franchise, rivaling even Halo. 

And people are saying that GT5 has more competition this year and list EVERY racing game that has come out this gen.  Again, really?  Are any of those franchises releasing anytime near the GT5 release?  Not to my knowledge.  Furthermore, when has any game in those franchises proved to be as big a seller as a GT game?  And on a consistant basis?  People act like Forza is this HUGE competition against GT.  How is that when the 360 offerings of those games haven't even sold more than GT5P, a glorified demo?  In fact, Forza 3, even with people hyping it to be bigger and better than GT5, doesn't look like it will reach the sales of Forza 2.  I may barely make it to 3 mil.

So Many things wrong here.

1. People are proving Halo Reach will outsell GT5 because there is supporting evidence for this, where I see little evidence supporting GT5

2. Halo 3 competed against Modern Warfare, and the Orange Box. Half Life 2 and Modern Warfare are among the best rated FPS titles. Yes Reach has Black Ops and Medal of Honor, but do no not agree that Modern Warfare > Black Ops, Orange Box > Medal of Honor in terms of competition? Why do you keep ignoring the competition Halo 3 had?

3. Forza 2 sold more copies then Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, look it up.

4. Forza Motorsport 2 on a weekly baisis outsold Gran Turismo 3, at least in 2009. I didn't really keep up with sales 35 weeks after launch, but I may look it up after this. Forza is a serious compeditor, stop turning it down, it's much more GT has ever dealth with in the past.

5. Forza 3 is currently at 2.7 million, and consistantly selling among the top 30 games world wide. It's still selling 35-60k units a week. In less then 10 weeks, it will top 3 million, I think the game will eventually get about 5-6, maybe even 7 million sales. More then any other racing game after Gran Turismo 1-4, and the Mario Kart's.
