Forums - Sales Discussion - Will Gran turismo PSP outsell Forza 3?

Yes, this seems impossible at first thought.... However, let's look at the numbers!

 

PSP:

Sold to date 51.27 million units

Hit extremely hard by piracy

Did manage to get quite a few million sellers so far though, and seems to be picking up pace recently

Need for speed most wanted sold 2.13 million on PSP so far (no other game to compare it too on psp really)

It's Gran Turismo baby, sales have always been epic for Sony on any platform

 

360:

Sold to date 31.81 million units

Hit by piracy (not nearly as hard as the PSP though) and a bad rep due to hardwarefailures

Managed to have an impressive list of millionsellers

Previous game sold 4 million to date

Perhaps marginally outsold GT5 proloque at 3.21 mil? (comparison however should be taken with a grain of salt since GT5P was just a "demo" to many and digital sales are unknown)

 

 

 

According to a topic here (http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=85958) Forza is roughly going to do 3-4 mil lifetime. With GT PSP being bundled with the new PSP GO I am predicting it will do that number (3 million) on bundles alone and I will add another 3 on top of that to make it 6 million lifetime. I also think the current numbers for Forza are highly optimistic, especially since their biggest market (NA) is currently stocking up on the PS3.

 

No flame wars please. Only argue with numbers!

FM3 > GT PSP

people do not realize that MS is all but serious about FM3 ...



Time to Work !

GT5P sales stand as 3.9 million (physical coppies alone)
and dat f2 game or whatever it's caled didnt even sell 4 million

OT: GTP would outsell all racers this yea (if GT5 is absent from this year)



We'll never know, but I'm going to say it depends on how long they bundle GT:PSP with the Go. GT:PSP has the advantage though. Forza 2 was bundled to reach 4m, and while I think Forza 3 will do significantly better than 2 I doubt it will really take off due to the lack of support in Japan and Others.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

And Sony aren't serious about Gran Turismo?



                            

We will know how many copies GT PSP sells including downloads:

To answer the question no I seriously doubt it. Said it once and will say it again; GT PSP has not even got 30k pre-orders in NA if this website is indeed correct.
