I think 6-8 million, 8 being the most. I just think people have moved on, all the delays have done nothing but kill the hype train.

did you even think before posting that joke.

6-8m will be Europe alone. 

Did you even think before posting that?

Past GT EMEAA Sales

GT4 - 6.49 million

GT3 - 5.86 million

GT - 4.31 million

GT2 - 3.70 million

GT5P - 2.20 million

A more realistic EMEAA Range looks like 3-6 million, and EMEAA is more then just Europe. 6-8 million is thus not entirely unreasonable, and a valid opinion.

LMFAO 3m

GT5 will easily do 3m this year in E alone if its given a couple weeks of release before xmas. 

I just dont get whats so hard to understand, GT is to Europe as HAlo is to NA . 

No GT ever has sold 3 million in EMEAA in a few weeks. GT sales take a long time to accumulate. 3 mllion is a bottom barrier, still about 35% greater then GT5P, so it's a good bottom bracket. It's also not that much below GT2, so very possible.

GT does have EMEAA, I don't argue that, but you claimed GT5 will easily do 6-8 million in Europe (not EMEAA), something no GT game has done before, and you also claimed 3 million in Europe (again not EMEAA) in the few weeks left in the year, again something no GT game has done before.

6-8 million is almost impossible for Europe alone for GT, especially since UK (the biggest game purchasing country in Europe) is 360 biased.

I'm only telling you that your predictions are very strong, and you shouldn't laugh at, or be critical of people who have lower predictions then you. Assuming GT5 will be the best selling GT does not make it so (and your predictions seem like they assume that). It's more plausible for GT to be the 2nd-worst selling GT game, and talking about EMEAA sales, 3-6million is the range of older GT games, why assume GT5 will do better? It can, but don't assume..
