sure you do

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will stop selling copies before 10 million, and no future Call of Duty title will be as big as Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 3 will still be big, but with half of Infinity Ward gone, I just can't picture it being anywhere nearly as good.

so MW2 will just suddenly stop selling ...............lmao

Gran Turismo 5 will also fall short because unlike Gran Turismo 1 and 3, the two best selling Gran Turismo games, Gran Turismo 5 is being sold after the consoles peak popularity, and not close to launch. So GT 5 sales will probably be more similar to GT2 and GT4 sales, only one of which crossed 10 million units. There are also other factors to consider, such as over saturation of the market, the playstation not being the dominant system anymore, stronger competition, and I bet you many of the hardcore racing fans bought a 360 because they couldn't wait 5 years for a GT5.

hardcore racing fans??????? - if they were so hardcore they did wait and have the best

and it isn't 5 years but 4 actually

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has currently sold 8.37 million units, so it's 1.63 million units away from the 10 million unit mark. It's still selling about 40,000 units weekly, so at this rate, the game will need a little over 40 weeks to break the 10 million barrier. However a sequel is comming out in I beleive 12 weeks? Okay it's not a direct sequel, but it will severly cut Modern Warfare 2 numbers, and by next fall a proper sequel will come out.

Maybe Modern Warfare 2 will break 10 million units sold, but 1.63 million is a lot of units, thats basically how many units Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sold to date on the PS3 (It  sold 1.73 million units to date).

I'm a big racing fan, and Gran Turismo isn't necessarily the best racing franchise. The point I want to make here is that the 360 has many good-great racing games. Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Forza Motorsport 2 and 3, Test Drive: Unlimited are all great racing games, all of which getting higher then 8.5/10 scores, with Forza 3 getting as high as 9.2-9.5 scores. For the period of time from 2005-2010 fall, a portion of the Gran Turismo fans may have switched over.

I own Gran Turismo 1-4, and I played them extensivly, Forza is a proper compeditor, and why would I wait for GT5, the only good PS3 simulation racing game, when I have many alternatives on the 360?

Also wait for the best? Right now the best racing simulator is Forza 3, and it's been out for almost a year already. GT5 may get slightly higher ratings, but for the amount of time it took to produce, I don't think it's worth it.

Also, Sony doesn't have an official PS3 racing wheel. How can you say GT5 is going to be the best, when there isn't even a proper steering wheel for the game? Yes Logitec make steering wheels, but only on table mounts, and placing it on your lap is uncomforitable (You have a wedge near your crotch, between your legs). This is a big reason why I can see a lot of hardcore racing fans switching over. You can't play GT5 and Forza 3 with a standard controller and complain about which one is better.

As for competition, you have to realize that a lot of casual PS3 gamers will get Gran Turismo 5, and with Mario Kart being over 3 times as popular (in terms of sales) then ever before, Gran Turismo has more competition. Yes Forza has improved drastically in quality from Forza 1, but thats not the only competition.

And yes it has been 5 years. Gran Turismo 4 came out in early 2005, and in december of 2004 for Japan. So it's actually almost 6 years. No matter how good the game is going to be, it's not going to be significantly better then Forza 3, and therefore not worth the wait to me. For me, I actually beleive Forza is a better franchise then Gran Turismo, and I can name many reason why. No stupid licencing, no repeating races in the same to to generate enough cash to advance, simulation damage on all cars (GT5 has cosmetic damage on 200 cars), licenced Porsches (Porsches in GT5 are not sold under the Porsche name, but under a tuning company name such as RUF), more race tracks, real time tire deformation, etc.

Mind you GT5 is an awesome game, I'm not trying to put GT5 down, I love Gran Turismo, and I plan to buy a copy down the road. It's going to be a big system seller, and an amazing game. Just to balance things out here are reasons why GT5 is better then Forza 3: Better interior graphics, interior rear view shows in car rear window and back seats, shadows are created by a fixed light source in GT5 (in Forza shadows move baised on your cars position, but do not take into account shadows of hills and other vehicles), 16 car racing (not 8), double the cars, rally racing, etc.

MW2 maybe, but it still got a way to go and a new cod is out in 3 months. GT5 might, but thats it, no other game will beat 10 million i think, i do not think any Cod will sell more than MW2 did.

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 is probably my favorite console FPS to date, unfortunately Activision destroyed the franchise when they went in and fired the top cats at Infinity Ward.  Infinity Ward was the company who basically changed the game when it comes to FPS's on the console.  And since Activision fired West and Zampella  I doubt that the innovation  will still be there (if Infinity Ward even survives this mess).

 

On topic, I do believe the new COD game will eat away at Modern Warfare 2's sales.  So will MW2 make it to 10 million?  Probably but I think it will take it 1-2 years.

Sports Champions? Seriously? It only has 20k pre-orders 4 weeks before launch, and is only bundled with the top of the line Move.

Howver I'll change my answer to 1, I think after looking at sales data, and comparing MW2 (PS3) to Halo 3 sales at the same point after release, MW2 can break 10 million, but not in 2010, and probably not by much.

GT5 I still don't think will cross 10 million, there are many reasons why I beleive it will be the worst selling console GT title, but it will still most likely break 8 million.

What you want to bet?

Sig/Avatar control for a year?

I voted 2 earlier but now think about it a little bit more I will have to say 0.  I will say that MW2 have the best chance but GT5 will fall short.  Looking at the Pre-Order numbers for GT5 it looks kinda embarrassing for a Sony #1 (GT5) exclusive vs M$ #1 exclusive (Reach) to have such a BIG gap.


embarrasing?

yeah it looks embarrasing when previous GT games also hadm low preorders and did do well and HALO only has one game as high as GT main games

you're correct
