and if prologue can do 5M, then GT5 can do 10M (on an at least 2 fold bigger install base)

You shouldn't use install base arguements as anything. Halo: Reach for instance was released on an install base 3x the size of Halo 3, but it's only selling about 8% better. You could also argue that since PS3 has a smaller install base then PS1 and an even smaller install base than PS2, then GT games on PS3 will sell the most poorly of the bunce. After all PS1 GT games sold more poorly then PS2 GT's games.

Install base arguements are stupid, but 10 million is a reasonable estimate on GT5 sales. It's just not because the install base grew since GT5P.

Except I m comparing GT5 THE REAL ONE to GT5pro : the demo like game, while u are compared Halo4 to Halo3 that was not a demo BUT the very first MEGA anticipated Halo on 360.

and I NEVER SAID GT5 would do 10 M BECAUSE of the superior install base (as if it was the main reason !)

I SAID the superior install base will help GT5 to sell more that is why, du to other reason, I think it could do 10M LTD

If I were comparing GT5 to GT5P then wouldn't I be saying 5 million sales for GT5 as well? So I dunno what your talking about. I only compared GT5 to GT4 and GT5P to GT4P. I only said GT5 sales compared to GT1-4 could be lower if we used an install base arguement (Since there are less PS3's then PS1's and PS2's).

As for your last comment, OKAY. lol enough with the caps, thats cool. I only said the supperior install base won't help much (look at Halo ~ 8%). However GT5 will get around (I think a bit less) then double GT5P sales because it's GT5 mainly, not a demo.
