Launch sales are as I expected. The game should end around 6-7 mil LTD. But of course it will takes more than a year before people predicting 10M sales may admit the true potential of this game.

It's only going to outsell GT5P by 1-2 mil?
I'm thinking 8.5-9.5mil.
The game is gonna sale 3mil in 2011.

Well, we'll see. But judging by launch numbers and by reviews, I think my prediction is more reasonable, unless of course, the game is bundled.
|
I think it's going to be a long shot to 10 million as no other PS3 games has done it yet, but it will sell beyond 8 million easily. The thing about these games, they never stop selling, gt5p was still sellling up to this point.

GT5P sold around 6k last week, which represents around 300k/year.
No game ever reached the 10 million mark on PS3, not even a Call of Duty game nor GTAIV, two far more popular franchises that had bigger launch sales.

Uh Prologue sold 17,000 last week and has seen 20K (plus) weeks for a while now. And just because no game has reached 10 million on PS3 doesn't mean GT5 won't.
Let's also remember this 1.8 mill is two days worth of data, not a full week. The full week should put it @ 2.4-2.5 mill and it should hit 4 million by year's end, putting it clear on track to outsell that 6-7mill lifetime prediction.
Unless the legs are horrible (unlikely, reviews mean zilch for a franchise like Gran Turismo), it will clear at least 8-9 mill, but 10 is doable.

Where did you see your 17,000 unit sold last week? Because the charts is listing GT5:P at 5,894 unit sold for last week.
Even if first week is around 2.4-2.5 mil like you said, are you aware that GTAIV had a 2.55 mil first week and is only at 6.91M? Knowing that GTA franchise is > than GT how can you see GT5 selling 10 million?
Let's say the game's hit 4 million at the end of the year.
It sells another 2 million in 2011 (average of 40k/week for the whole year).
And let's say another 0.75M in 2012 and 0.4M in 2013, which is reasonable.
It only makes 7.15M and these numbers were optimistic.

Read the edit: I posted a link there. WW, it sold 17,000.
GTA IV also is the highest rated game in it's series and the second highest rated game of all time. If reviews are an indication, why isn't it sitting higher? Easy answer: it disappointed the main target: gamers. Therefore, it sells less (not to mention, if it were PS3 exclusive, it obviously would have sold FAR higher).
If you think you're numbers are optimistic, keep to that. But selling just 2 million next year will likely prove too low. Let's see it's legs through Dec.
