People forgot that GT has strong legs.
|
Last gen yes, this gen probably not, no game had stronger legs than San Andreas, last gen. This gen GTA hasnt even reached 7 million on ps3.
|
It WILL reach 7 millions though, you're acting like San Andreas sold 18 millions in one week.
Also, GTA4 was released on both PS3 and Xbox360 which is why it is under 10 million units sold on PS3. And like I said, it is still selling.
You all should check GT4's sales, it had incredibly strong legs even though they were killed by the launch of the next-generation consoles shortly after.

I know GTA SA sold 18 mill in a week, I never implied that, all I was saying is that noone should expect GT5 to automatically sell as much as the previous titles because situations have changed, PS3 has sold a fraction of what the ps2 sold at the same point in time.
|
GT3 over 7 million in a user base lower than PS3 has now.
|
1. GT3 was bundled for LOOOONG time(there was still a gt3 bundle when I bought my ps2 in 03)
2. GT3 was the first major blockbuster on the system.
|
1. Yeah, but GT4 launch in 2005 when PS3 has a 75M user base... GT3 has already sold 13M ... 2003 when GT3 sold 10M the PS2 user base was 45M... GT3 sold 10M in the same user base of PS3 has now.
2. GT5 is the fist major exclusive blockbuster on the system... no other sold more than 5 million.

According to this article:
http://news.cnet.com/PlayStation-2-passes-sales-milestone/2100-1043_3-5141061.html
Ps2 sold over 70 million by the end of 2003
So GT3 sold 10 million on a console that sold 70 million units.
