GT5 comes from a franchise known to have lasting sales (even in the States). It appears to be overtracked by 130k here on the Chartz, but not that big of a deal. I still expect it to leg it's way to 2.5 mill in the States. It has lost a bit of it's brand power in the US & JP, but it's still over 5 million WW after 6 weeks and still a strong franchise.
As for the 360's scenario, like GT5, with holidays come adjustments. Nothing uncommon. Despite them, it had a stellar holiday, thanks to Kinect/360S!

Hmm, 2.5 for states alone is too much IMO. Isn't it just over 1 mill atm? I think past games like GOW3, LBP and U3 have done well legs wise because good word of mouth and fact they HAVN'T come from big existing franchises. I don't think GT5 is going to get amazing word of mouth, and I think apart from continental Europe, GT5's legs are going to be dissapointing to the hefty expectations some people have here.
But, I could be wrong, not the first time.

I see it hitting that not necessarily because of word of mouth, but future bundling. It'll probably have a holiday 2011 bundle of sorts, and little deals here and there. It's currently at 1.2mill (give or take a future adjustment), and I see it making it to 1.5 mill by Summer/Fall time here. With holiday bundling, price cut(s) and the Graetest Hits Edition, I can see it making 2 mill by next Jan and at least 2.5 mill lifetime.
It won't be easy, but I think it'll manage it.

Well yeah if it gets bundled then the sky is the limit, I guess that's a likely event. BTW you say states? Didn't it do roughly 400k last month and 560k this month? That's less than 1 mill. Or did you mean Americas?
