im thinking 7-9 million numbers. if it released last yeat it could have had a chance of getting to 9 million, but all of the delays hurt it.

another bad decision by sony.

Do you have any proof on that?
Or is that just a wild guess?

 Look at it this way, now GT5 has less time before a PS4 is released. I'm thinking 8-9 million tops. This game is coming upon the last remaining time of the consoles' lifetimes and in the age of shooters. In either case, there's as much proof as this game having legs as there is of the contrary. 

A PS4 release is at the very least, 2 years away. Also, "the age of shooters" is irrelevant, because if it weren't, previous PlayStation franchises with iterations this gen would have been heavily affected. Well, God of War & Metal Gear Solid had no problems, I doubt Sony's biggest franchise will have problems. It will do between 10 & 11 million, but not outsell GT3.

This is my prediction also.  Around 11 million.

 

I see this is being underestimated by the same few that happened with many other PS3 games.  We saw how that turned out from before.  A glorified Demo sold 5 million - I think GT5 will be able to do more.

Indeed. Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBIGPlanet, God of War III, HEAVY RAIN are all major candidates of this. Look at what's happened

Uncharted 2 is already ahead of Drake's Fortune.

LBP will clear 4 mill when some said it be lucky to see 1.5mill.

God of War III will be the best selling in the series.

MGS4 will likely catch MGS1 & MGS2 (both did about 5.58mill on PS1/PS2 respectively).

HEAVY RAIN is looking for 2 mill at this point when just about everybody (except moi ) doubted it would clear 500,000 (which it ironically cleared in it's first week to market).

Some people haven't learned their lessons yet.

Good shit son! All this evidence proves a smaller userbase =/= lower sales! Here's a couple more I noticed

FIFA 11 will likely become the best selling FIFA game ever (based on FIFA 10 sales being 3.55m) beating FIFA 06 on the PS2 (3.93m)

Resident Evil 5 will soon pass Resident Evil 3 in sales and become the 3rd best selling RE game ever

Killzone 2 has outsold Killzone in America (there is no numbers for Killzone in EMEAA)
