P.S. According to VGChartz, GT4 sold 1.26 million in Japan

 

And also according to Vgchartz it sold 1.1 million.

Anyway has anyone seen the Gamespot hour long video on GT5, ive only seen 10 mins myself but they certainly dont sound too enthusiastic for it. The pretty slow loading even after full install, having to install the same thing twice, only premium cars having interior views, only being able to take photos of premium cars, the car he was driving at the start he commented looked a bit ragged and it didnt look all that.

So its reviews could end up being nothing special at all.

Wow, but which one is right? Wouldn't make an arguement about it, someone should inform VGChartz about this difference, so they put the proper value up.

Wait... Only prenium cars have interior views? but aren't there only 200 prenium cars? Does that mean that when I race I will be force to have a hood cam on 4/5 of the cars?

I also agree with you, reviews MIGHT not be that special. 6-8 million is a very real posibility. I mean how many people here thought GT PSP would sell so poorly? Thats a great racer for those who have played it.

All I know is the general consencus is 9-11 million, but 8 and 12 million are possible situations. 6 million and 15 million are unlikely, but possible.

I also know, I will love this game. Several of my PS3 friends already bought GT5 wheels. I'm going to look at a fantec multiconsole porsche wheel so I can enjoy the best of Forza AND GT. However for a PS3/360 model it's quite expensive. ($300, so probably not for me )
