i haven't seen anything more reasonable then this, but one you go GT your in for life.
Did I just read forza stole GT5's sales?
Facepalm*
GT5 can't come soon enough seriously......
| tuscaniman said: If by flop you mean more than 10 million in sales then yes it will flop. I don't see this game selling more than MW2. MW2 was a huge success on PS3 so GT5 will be a success as well but its not going to be the biggest game ever. If anyone thinks this game will sell more than Reach they need to wake up. GT5 will have to have a 40% attach ratio to beat Reach in sales and thats just not going to happen. |
can you give a reason why not?
Im gonna say 2 million in NA by the end of the year. 3 Million in Europe by the end of the year. and 800k in japan by the end of the year. I think LTD it could reach 10 milion if sony starts bundling PS3 with GT5 from now on. However my guess is that it will do 8 million and will be the best selling PS3 exclusive. And i think it is right to say that some of the GT userbase has switched consoles and moved over to forza. By no means i am saying forza should even be compared to gt5 but some people just can't afford to buy 2 consoles
Not even sure if it will have massive legs..It will sell less than MW2 PS3 IMO.

Flop? No. Less than 10 million sold in the first year? Absolutely.

MW2 was a huge success on PS3 so GT5 will be a success as well but its not going to be the biggest game ever. you are also forgetting the general PS3 userbase isn't that much into shooter and more like games like this If anyone thinks this game will sell more than Reach they need to wake up. GT5 will have to have a 40% attach ratio to beat Reach in sales and thats just not going to happen. u need to wake up more than we do. it will not have to have a 40% attach ration as by launch itself PS3 sales will be around 40m so it would be 25%.reach has to do somewhere similar as PS3/360 userbase are not very apart now.so if you think 25% is too much for GT5 then you think the same for REACH which you don't and GT5 doesn't jst sell at launch it has huge legs and it will sell till 1-1.5 years heavily and by that time PS3 userbase will be crossing 50m so the attack ration will be pretty less than you have stated |

GT games always have legs

15 million people did not fall off the face of the earth but I'd make a bet at least half of them moved to the 360. You'd have to be crazy if you think GT5 is going to be the best selling in the series when the PS3 has sold 1/4 of what the PS2 sold. The attach ratio would have to be ridiculous for this to happen. |
i don't think he said 15million people will buy it but he was jst referring that 15m people that bought GT3 wouldn't jst have disappeared and alot of them will buy the game

what slice has been taken by forza,forza sales are minor compared to GT's high
I already bought (a week ago) the G27 and the G27 wheel stand pro...thats 254euro and 130euro...just to play GT5
Also I have preordered the limited edition of GT5
Am I hyped enough?
PS: the plus is not supported?
