Was GTA3 the only game on the PS2? Is GTA4 going to be the only game on the PS3?

 

GTA was the highest selling games on the PS2, and PS3 lacks th casual games of the PS2 so it only has its hardcore games to carry it, games which indicate a potential arond 15-20 million


 LMFAO

The PS3 has Singstar, LBP, Buzz, GRAN TURISMO 5 etc which are casual games. It also has a lot of sports games.

15-20M hardcore gamers? Well, 15M GTA3, 7M FFX, 3M DMC, GT5 (both hardcore and casual) 15M etc. The PS3 will attract way more hardcore gamers then the xbox or Gamecube ever could. Xbox; if you don't like FPS your screwed, Gamecube; if you don't like Mario or Zelda your screwed.


 You really think Gran turismo is a causal game, lol, you really think most people are interested in a realistic racer?

 

The other games you mentioned may have some causual appeal, but they aren't the big draws outside Europe Singstar and Buzz sells poorly, you see this is where you get it wrong, they have limited appeal compared to the Wii games


Gran Turismo has a lot of casual appeal, especially in Europe. PS3 also has a much more diverse library than the xbox or gamecube. It also has the Playstation brand. 75M WW is realistic. 


Brand means squat, if it did N64 would have beaten the PS1, what games on the PS3 give it a diverse library, in fact it shares a lot of its library with the 360

 as for GT, you say it has wide causal appeal yet it seems to sell in a similar range except when bundled

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
