It seems the game isn't selling like the initial expectations. I guess this game more than any other proves how the Xbox 360 and PS3 shared the PS2 userbase fairly evenly. The sales are still great however and I believe that their next game ought to surpass this by a large margin given the opportunity to release it much closer to the launch of the PS4.

Well, it's ahead of the most recent GT, form the PS2, in the same time frame. I think current gen expectations were high, but for a GT, it's performing as it usually would.

GT sold 25M on the PS2 and it sold 8M on the PS3 if we consider full versions only. The PS3 sold 67M copies and the PS2 sold 150M copies so the attach rate is pretty steady at around 10 Playstations sold per GT game sold. So yes GT is selling at the expected rate but the expectations for the sales were still too high. I remember there were many predictions that it'd have sold more than this by now and anything under 10M was considered blasphemy. So yes GT is selling as expected and it isn't selling as expected at the same time.
