GT4 took 4 years and a user base of rising to c.100m to get to its 10m units sold milestone
|
question, what does do GT3 and GT5 have in common?
|
They are both GT games, cant see what else they have in common to be honest.
One was the first iteration of the franchise last gen on the biggest selling console of all time and went on to sell 14m over a 3 and 1/2 year perido before GT4 (10m over 4 years) was released
The other is the first iteration of the franchise launching this gen and is launching on a 3rd placed console in an environment where there are any number of driving games.

We could say this....
GT sold more than GT2 - first GT of the PS1 gen
GT3 sold sold more than GT4 - first GT of the PS2 gen
Of course, GT3 launched on a similar userbase to what the PS3 is now, but IMO, I find that bit moot. Several franchises this gen have proven the userbase argument isn't always the one that determines these sales outcomes. I can't see why the biggest PlayStation franchise of all time should fall under that category.

when do you think GT6 will hit.
and regardless of that.. what do you see GT5 sales standing at after 2 and 3 years?
edit. nevermind you replied above.
|
GT5 in 2-3 years will be anywhere from 7-9mill.
|
7m after 2yrs and 9m after 3yrs would make it the fastest selling GT of all time.

Uncharted 2 has quadrupled its first week in 10 months and will likely do 6 to 7 times it's first week lifetime. You don't think GT5 will at least triple it's first week in 24 months? Keep in mind, it will likely be bundled in every region and is seeing an official release in several territories that no previous GT game was ever officially released in such as South America, Vietnam, the Philippines, etc. And GT4 was only bundled in PAL. If PES 2010 can sell 600k in Latin America, likely over 150k on PS3, and God of War 3 can sell around 100k how much do you think GT5 will sell in that region? The traditional Chinese version of GOW3 has sold over 180k, more than any GT ever sold in Asia and that doesn't even include the Korean version. :edit: On a small side note, it's kind of annoying that we don't seem to even be attempting to track SW in the small outlying regions. Source even made an article about PES 2010 Latin American sales and we still haven't seen adjustments.
