No MGS4, ZOE3, SO4, GT5, FF XIII, FF Versus XII, DMC4, KH3 (PS3).

Those games will let the domination of PS3 begin in Japan, not this game. It probably will sell well though.

Currently, Zone of the Enders 3, Star Ocean 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3 have not been announced for the PS3 ... Metal Gear Solid and Devil May Cry are not that big of series in Japan, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has performed dratically worse than Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, and we still don't know when Final Fantasy will be released.


Considering the last 2 Star Ocean's were on PS1 and PS2...well, I guess we'll see. Again, KH 1 and 2 were made by the team making FF13: Versus, which is PS3 only...but hey, we'll see...

Every Metal Gear sells 800k in Japan. Not bad.

So far 200k have bought GT5: Pro. Only 800k of GT4: Pro were sold. Can you verify for me that 600K have not downloaded the game (or did you forget that we have that tech now for every system but the Wii)?

FF13 most likely in 2009. but hey, that date hasn't been "announced" either, so perhaps you shouldn't assume obvious facts yourself. maybe it will make 2008 in Japan.

 Can't.  But you can't verify it did.  By best data available around 100K copies of GT5:Prologue have been downloaded. 

You can inflate that to 600K if you want but that'd be silly without any indication other then you think it should sell better.

Another question is whether American and European PS3 owners could download Gran Turismo 5: Prologue ...

If there were 600,000 downloads and 80% (to pick a number) were from the United States or Europe it wouldn't be a good statement for how popular the game was in Japan.

 

And for those who seem to call me a Fanboy, please explain why Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is NOT a good indicator on how Gran Turismo 5 will sell? Any excuse or condition as to why Gran Turismo 5: Prologue sold poorly (in comparison to previous versions) will also directly impact sales of Gran Turismo 5.

If you look at the data, historically big selling series like Everybody's golf, Dynasty Warriors and Pro Evolution Soccer (which all sold in a similar range to Gran Turismo 4) have sold less than 1/2 as many copies on the PS3 as they sold on the PS2, please explain why these are NOT good indicators on how Gran Turismo 5 will sell? Any excuse or condition which applies to these games also impacts Gran Turismo 5.

Why is it that I have to spoon feed basic information on every game that is massively overhyped (like Lair, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted) and when they come out and sell to the level of MY EXPECTATIONS you suddenly say that you didn't expect them to sell well?
