I've been waiting to make this thread since a couple of weeks, because I wanted to see more numbers and not jump the gun prematurely.

Gran Turismo 5 was the last game left in the long line of PS3 saviors that were named in pretty much every thread concerning hardware sales and future lineups in 2007 and 2008. As time passed by, one game after another failed to do its job of saving the PS3 and now even Sony's by far biggest exclusive couldn't manage to turn things around. So why did Gran Turismo 5 fail to save the PS3? 

The answer is quite simple, really. At this point in time the PS3 just doesn't need to be saved anymore. After a problematic launch period in late 2006/early 2007, Sony slowly, but surely, got its act together and the PS3 started to have healthy hardware and software sales on a regular basis.


you mean this thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=5338

That thread is hilarious now. Some people thought FFXIII was going to push the PS3 past the 360 and then GT5 would push it past the Wii.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
