ioi predicted 10 million as well, and I think we'll agree that his statements are hardly "idiotic".

Besides, 5 million is what Prologue did, and it didn't start off like GT5. GT5 will easily clear 5mill, and 10 million isn't out of the question. Looking back @ GT4, GT5's numbers account for less days, and it only sold 500,000 less than it. That isn't really a strong sign of franchise decline. The only shooters this gen with large numbers are CoD, Gears, & Halo. One of those (Halo) was already big to begin with (previous gen).

I never understand why people think so many shooters sell so big. It's really not many.

GT5 Prologue did 5 million courtesy of heavy bundling. Both physical and digital copies.

 

OT: I think GT5 just didn't hit a lot expectations. The most noteworthy is It failed to pass GT4's opening and the PS3 didn't outsell the 360.

We can make excuses all day. You don't think GT5 will have bundles?

Yeah, I'm sure it will. So Sony can boast about it hitting 10 million.

In fact, they won't even wait until they sell 10 million. They'll boast about 10 million shipped.
