Also many of the past GT games sold as well as the biggest games on the console. GT1 was the best selling game on the PS1 (besting FFVII), and GT2 was the third best. GT3 was the second best selling game on the PS2, and GT4 was the fifth. So even if GT5 doesn't top Modern Warfare 2, it should top the 7 million by GTA IV.
Its true previous GT games have sold a ton but interest has decreased alot since GT3, GT4's US sales dropped to 2.8 million from 7.1 million. GT for PSP had poor US sales. They seem to prefer driving games like Need For Speed now.
Theres definitley no certainty itll pass GTAIV either, the games been forgotten a little because of the mixed opinions on it but lets not forget that it was the most anticipated game of all time at the time, everybody was talking about it like how COD is now.
Meanwhile hardly anybody is talking about GT5, its not had half the hype of Uncharted 2 or God of War 3.
As for its sales in US if it is incredibly lucky it can sell about 2 million copies, its not gonna sell that much more than that, COD4 was the start of a craze and that sold 2.7 million in US, COD WAW sold 2.3 million, GT5 a franchise that had a drastic drop with GT4 and something nobody is really talking about isnt gonna surpass that.
For Japan around a million, GT4 only sold 1.26 million with a bigger userbase. Only one game has sold above 850,000 and thats Final Fantasy which was always bigger than GT.
And EMEAA is where itll have its most success but i dont see that passing Fifa 10s 3 million either.
If its very lucky it can maybe get 6-7 million. Im expecting around 4.5-5.5 million copies. But 10 million wont happen even if it sold aswell as GTA4 in US, aswell as FF13 in Japan and aswell as MW2 in EMEAA it still wouldnt reach it.
