as much as the Best Selling Gran Turismo.IMO.

I expect it to have a Solid Launch, compared to the other Gran Turismo's, which i think will give it a advantage compared to the others, but its legs IMO will be massive compared to most games out there.

Whats everyone think? Will it be the Best Selling Gran Turismo or Perhaps the Worst?
(This is only Main series of Gran Turismo ,1,2,3,4,5.)

*EDIT*
The poll is for what position Gran Turismo 5 will be in Sales wise.

Well its A FACT NOW, this is Agust 21st, 2011.. GT 5 IS IN FACT one of the WORST SELLING Gran Turismo's so far ( 5th place )

Umm..it's been our for less than a year?and why are you posting in this old thread anyway?

If a game is going to sell better it will show it in the first 6-12 months..  In 6 months of sales you'll know...

HALO Reach has also been out less then a year ( as you said GT 5 has been out less then a year above ), but it passed Halo 2 ( a couple months ago) and is now the 2nd best selling Halo  of all time..  http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=Halo+&publisher=&console=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total

 .. So while Gt 5 will sell more copies, it'llprobably never sell enough to be anything better then moving from 5th to  4th place .. after the first 6 months a games sales slow significantly.. GT 5 ( or even REACH ) will need 2 years to sell another million, if they do.. Which is why I dont beleive Reach will overtake Halo 3 for 1st place.. but it could get close, but i doubt it will.. Reach ( now at 8.6 million ) will likely hit 10 million in a year or two.. so lifetime sales will be very respectable for a Halo title..

Uhh... no. Uncharted 2 sold 1.6 million between its 4th and 16th month(2010). And it'll sell around 800k-1 million this year. What are you basing your sales trends off of? GT5 will easily sell close to 4 million between 2011 and 2012, and that's not even accounting for adjustments that are likely to occur once shipments are updated. IIRC last year GT4 shipped around 200k 6 years after its launch.
