3 million is a little low, but to be fair, I didn't expect GT5 to sell as well as it did either, but I think that:
1. There's no buzz to this game (GT5 got a lot of attention because of how often it was delayed and how long people were waiting for a complete Gran Turismo game since ps2 era).Part of the reason there's no buzz is also due to a lack of marketing- I'm already seeing trailers for Madden, COD, BF, etc look at how many views the trailer for gt6 on youtube has- not even 100k. EDIT: The anouncement trailer did get 400k views, but e3's didn't get to 100k
2. It's the end of the consoles's generation and people are going to be more interested in a next gen racing games ala Drive Club, Forza, etc.
3. Xbox One, PS4, GTA 5, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty 98, and tons of next gen and current gen games are gonna be launching around the same time.
I think 3 million is being real- if not a bit optimistic.
EDIT #2: I'm completely talking out of my ass- I have no idea how to guesstimate game sales. Just my uneducated guesses.
