Out of curiosity, Gran Turismo 5 has legs as some say.

What is your opinion on how those legs will hold up once id Software's Rage is released?

In case you have forgotten, Rage is a FPS/racing game that has won over the critics at 2010 E3, has a teen rating, will be released on PC, Wii, PS3 and 360, and is created from a developer who is widely acclaimed for popularizing the FPS genre.

so so much fail in this post...so much lmao

I agree.

Be interesting to see what those few who are defending GT5's figures would say what GT5 needs to do numbers wise to be considered in your book a success? More then GT4 numbers or less?

why are people saying japan is a bigger market for GT. I highly doubt the developers and publisher care about which region has higher proportional sales. 1mil in Japan is not better then 2mil in America. People are greatly overestimating EMEAA sales. The only way GT5 has a shot at 10mil is selling a good 3-4mil in America, which is very possible to happen in the long run. But saying Japan is more important then America is just funny.

GT4 only sold 2.81 units in America, but it reached 10 million WW. I only mention this here because I wanted to show that people shouldn't underestimate EMEAA sales.

Finally! That's what I mean. The underestimation of EMEAA sometimes leads to ignoring this market or thinking that America = world. Sometimes you should check former sales of a franchise. GT3 sold 14 million. At its release there were lesser PS2 consoles sold than PS3 are now. And as snfr said, GT4 managed to sell 10 million without huge sales in America. So EMEAA is HUGE regarding Gran Turismo. You'll see.

Grand Turismo 4 sold what it did with an install base bigger then PS3 will likely ever reach. Grand Turismo 3 reached 14mil because of 7million sales from America... You need to check former sales of the franchise. Like I said without 3-4mil sales from America it won't reach 10mil. EMEAA is going to be greatly overestimated. GTA has been a bigger franchise there and even being multiplatform it sold far worse in EMEAA then San Andreas.

san andreas is a totally different thing and it got bad word of mouth.

ROFL!!! indeed^^

Doesn't matter anyways come the days that GT5 picks up in pre-order then sells huge in first week, you wont even see all the "GT5 is doing bad" crowd after that, they will be back in their caves like nothing happened!

MARK MY WORDS SAME THING THEY DID TO UNCHARTED 2 AND HEAVY RAIN.

Around the sales of GT4 would be a success, as it would be the best selling PS3 exclusive by far. So let's take some risk: I make a prediction, take it in my signature. You can qoute me next year, you can send pms to laugh at me, when I was wrong.



12.08.2010, prediction:

GT5 will sell ~10 million life time (after 20 weeks around 6 million, rest with legs).
