the thing is only 3 games have sold over 5m on the PS3 so far and not one over 10m

2 cod's and a gta

i'm not saying it will flop but 10m plus doesn't look like a good prediction if you ask me

it is sonys exclusive racing sim so right now it could do anywhere between  6-9m sales over the next two years 

People mention how many ps3s there are out there right now when gt5 launches but they fail to mention the fact that the game is more then likely gonna keep selling for the next 2 maybe even more years.

Sure if it were to sell all (hypothetically speaking) 10-15 million of its copies first week the attach rate would be unbelievable (like 30 something percent) but two years from now there could be 30 million more ps3s out there...

gt3 didn't sell 15 million in three months let alone a year but it slowly got itself up there, who is to say that gt5 won't do the same? I'm not saying it'll sell 15 million by any means im predicting 10-12.

Hell it's pretty much a fact that COD MW2 is going to sell over 10 million ps3 eventually just look at how much it still sells ...nearly 50k a week and if I'm not mistaken its full price?

I hope this makes sense =/ im not very good at typing what I'm thinking haha

why are we even talking about forza fans

how many games had done 10m on PS2 before GT3

hell even today not many have done over 10m so the argument is invalid

there are only few franchises that can do that feat

agreed. your solid, i understood every word. 

Looking at Prologue's sales, I know GT will be just fine. I'm not concerned about European sales at all. Japan, if it manages to cross 1 million, that's good enough, and like I said before, the addition of the Super GT license CAN help.

But as for America, Sony needs to heavily advertise the NASCAR section of the game. If they manage to get off on a good start with sales in America, word of mouth should be able to do its magic.

Frankly, when the game releases I'm just gonna check its sales out and how many consoles it shifted and avoid the forums, because I'm fairly certain it'll be way too heated.

This game will possibly move 5 million in the EMEAA region alone so 5-6 million lifetime is really unlikely imo. I'm not so confident it will reach 10 million lifetime but 8-9 should be doable and it will certainly be the best selling PS3 game ever.

How could it be the best selling ps3 game if it only sells 8-9 million? As I have posted above COD MW2 is allready pretty much garunteed to top 10 Million eventually unless its sales decide to flat line for no reason.

It is my personal opinion that GT5 will eventually top 10 million before all is said and done of course that'll be at least two years from now more than likely.

I'm no GT Fan but I do see GT 5 doing rather well, it seems the demo has sold around 5 mil, I think the actual game will atleast nearly double that.

Gran Turismo is Sony's greatest flagship so:

1) there will be A LOT advertising 

2) will probably be heavily bundled as well

3) will definitely be a greatest hit, so it will pre-long sales

I wouldn't be surprised if GT does pass the 10 mil mark  as people have predicted, so call me another believer!!!lol  

its a comparison...not that you can respond to this.
