Otherwise we can see that the new iteration of a franchise outsells the last in the previous gen However as GTA4 is the only exception I'll treat it as an anomaly, this is why I expect GT5 to outsell GT4 at the least! But if it doesn't it will still not be the lowest selling GT!! |
Not really the only exception...
Most of Madden and FIFA games sold better on PS2.
Prince of Persia and Tom Clancy's franchises also sold better on PS2.
Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk's franchises sold better on PS2.
Star Wars games sold better on PS2.
WWE games sold better on PS2.
And... another huge racing game's franchise in the name of Need for Speed also sold way better on PS2.
And keep in mind that a lot of PS2 games aren't very weel tracked here.
In the end I think GT5 won't top 7-8 million LTD.
p.s. GoW III didnt outsold GoW II yet, it is currently at 3.03M, while GoW II is at 3.45M and GoW is at 3.74M. But I agree it will outsell it eventually. :)
