I agree with #3 no one should be purchasing a ps3 at the moment. =P
@elendar, It`s a MATTER of PREFERENCE. =)
1) Most PS2 owners will jump to Wii. Casual gamers were the majority on the PS2.
@BengaBenga, Ok, WHEN they will, TELL me. =))
2) Attach rates don't mean anything.
Oh, GREAT, Now it doesn`t mean anything.

Microsoft claims Xbox 360 has attach rate record.
3) I thought rumble was last-gen?
I thought HDMI is NOT needed?

I take it this means that when these games come out and sell dramatically worse than you're expecting,
@HappySqurriel, So.. RATCHET PS3 LTD sales will be around 1 mln.? RIGHT? Or What are you saying? IF not, then HOW much then???

You're correct that not all PS2 users jumped to the PS3, in fact my point was that a large portion (potentially the vast majority) of PS2 users will never buy a PS3 because they have no particular attachment to games that are exclusive to the PS3.

WHY PS2 users SHOULD abandon ALL THESE games in BOLD?
these same gamers are far more likely to buy Forza 2, Project Gothem Racing or Burnout than to buy a PS3 for Gran Turismo.
DID any of those games sold MORE then GT? Why NOT yet?
For the records, in Japan ATTACH rate of GT5P(DEMO) today is MORE then Forza 2.
