I don't know. I think it does not make sense to compare it against GT. GT is NOT what it was, no matter how much some love the franchise; it is simply not at the same level and the game genre is also not as popular as before when you have open world racing games out there that attract a larger audience.

I do not believe Elden Ring will beat something like the new God of Wars on PlayStation for instance or Starfield on the Xbox side. I know GT is a AAA, but I really believe it is an outliner. 

No trying to downplay Elden Ring here, cause it is really killing it (and well deserved) but we do not really have any good comparison at this moment. Maybe Horizon... Meh don't know, I feel like the next AAA will be the real test (GoW and Starfield)

And yet GT7 is literally the highest grossing GT of all time in the US?

Sure, relative to the biggest games out there, it's nowhere near as significant as it once was. But the rankings and numbers its pulling thus far are quite impressive.

God of War won't stand a chance. And Statfield may well be the next Halo Infinite and exit most charts as soon as it enters them. Can't even see it selling over 35% of Elden Ring without a Playstation version.

Elden Ring is going for that easy 35 million+ copies sold.

I don't you are getting my point. I'm not bashing GT too, so please... Any NEW version (good ones) of games are going to eventually beat the previous one (the gaming makert is way bigger than it was for the last GT and same goes for other big games). sure there are outliners but it is what it is. You can see that with almost every AAA games coming out, setting new records for the franchise. GT is nowhere close to where it was and while it is still doing very well, you cannot compare GT sales to Elden Rings like apples to apples. It is not. And I believe the SAME exact thing for Forza Motorsport, while it will do very well like GT, I believe it will be nowhere as successfull as before, thanks to open world racing games like Forza Horizon, the genre is just less popular now (GT and FZ MOTR)

Also for Elden Rings on Xbox or PlayStation I'm talking "per" platform... Obviously if you look at sales on all platforms and compare this number to a game that is being sold on only one platform, you do not need to be a math genius to assume it will sell better overall (unless the game is crap).

I think Starfield is going to beat it... yes (xbox sales versus Xbox sales).
And same goes for GoW on the PlayStation side. I do not think this anywhere close to be far stretched...
