if people want it to pass 10 million combined, i think it is a limit. the game needs a VERY high attach rate to achieve that target. that, and it being a multiplatform game just dampens the attach rate aswell. with other high profile games getting released soon after, i just don't see it hapenning.

Multiplatform games have lower attach rates? That doesn't even make any sense, at least not this generation...

What are the PS3's two best selling games? Motorstorm, and Call of Duty 4, with COD4 quickly reaching the target of best selling PS3 game. Consider that Motorstorm was bundled and it already is.

Look at the 360. Halo 3 and Call of Duty 3. Not only was the Xbox brand pretty much built on Halo, but it had a humongous launch coinciding with the holiday season. And don't think that Call of Duty 4 doesn't have a chance of outselling Halo 3, it has some amazing legs.

With games like Assassin's Creed and Guitar Hero doing so well, I don't see how you can say that. Do consider that Guitar Hero III for the PS2 is now the highest selling game in the series despite the fact that the game was on several different platforms. 

 


sorry i worded it wrong, i meant to say it dampens the attach rate for each console, not combined. so if gta was exclusive to ps3, it would have a much higher attach rate for the console, but because it multiplatform, it's split. anyway, i just don't think the game can surpass 10-11 million worldwide combined. i could be wrong of course, but that's unlikely in my opinion.
