I'd say this is amazing especially considering that GT4 launched when the PS2 install base was 3 times that of the PS3's now.

Or maybe  GT4 launched as the second game to come out on that system. Being the first GT on the PS2, GT3 trounced 4 solely because it was the first one on the system and had the most 'wow' factor.

 

GT5 has that 'first game of the generation' syndrome while GT4 didn't.

GT3 launched to a smaller install base.

End.

Didn't GT3 get to most of its sales because USA bundles?

Even if you reduce GT3 America sales from 7 million to 2-3 million, it still sold within average for prior GT games, and it launched on a smaller user base. User base areguments are meaningless outside the Mushroom Kingdom.
