But the analogy was yours and not something spoken in these forums by others, I've seen a lot of people who think GT5 will push hardware but none who have likened it to FFVII, these are two very different arguments.
Your last sentence seems to juxtepose FFVII and Reach as system sellers on equal grounds, I think this is absurd and a lot more far fetched than someone claiming GT5 will move systems. This far into the generation, software does not push tremendous amounts of hardware, why aren't you equally distraught by the people who think that Reach will be a system seller on the same level as Halo 3? Reach is launching in the fifth year of the console, approaching the 360's sixth holiday season and I think it simply naive to assume that Reach will have anywhere near the impact of Final Fantasy VII (which was released only two years after the PS launch, one year after EU launch).
GT5 will move hardware, not huge amounts but still. Neither GT5 nor Reach will be close to FFVII impact. GT 5 Prologue moved a lot of consoles on its own and the GT series is the worlds best selling racing franchise after Mario Kart so one should not be so quick to dismiss the value it may hold as a system seller over time. In the end, Reach will probably move more consoles than GT5, there's no doubt in my mind about that but your arguments suggest to me that the whole premise of your position rests on the fact that you don't want GT5 to be a success, nor a system seller in any respect. By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.
