true gt5p was bought by many fans, but the casuals didnt buy it. also gt5p isnt a must buy when you get a ps3, so any new owners woudnt have bought it.

i woudnt consider gt5p a full game, and some fans like darth didnt get it yet.

if gt5 was on the 360 it would sell less then forza.

This is a really tough question.  I think DKCR is the wild card here.  It could sell like the old DKCs and catch on like NSMB Wii, it could only sell a million or two to the hardcore Nintendo fans, or anything in between.  GT will outsell Zelda.

Yeah, and Halo would sell less than Killzone on the PS3. (sarcasm incase you missed it.)

In my opinoin, a game that's popular on the PS3 would likely be popular on the 360 as well and vice versa. Look at multiplat games for example. If a game bombs it usually does so on both consoles. Popular games tend to do well on both consoles. Maybe you can find a few examples that don't apply, but for a most part that's how it goes.

So saying a mega popular game like GT5 would sell less than Forza on the 360, well that's just unlikely. You also gotta remember there are quite a few PS1 and PS2 fans that now own a 360. The PS3 isn't the beast past Sony consoles were.

GT5: The PS3 doesn't have a large install base as the PS2 had when GT4 was released so I expect GT5 to sell less, 7 million I guess (which is very impressive for a PS3 title).

DKCR: Has the potential to save the WIii and Nintendo (once again) just as the first did for the SNES, with more than 75 million Wiis at the release time it can sell more than 10 million but I don't believe it will reach 15 million.

Zelda: Historical data shows that Zelda is not popular as GT and DK, Twilight Princess managed to sell very well (Wii GC combined) and been one of few motion plus exclusive titles can help on its sales. In addition, a bundle or a different box cover can help as well. What about the saler? 6 million I guess.

That is is it, in my opinion: DKCR > GT5 > SS

While not too farfetched, I think 7 million for GT5 is lowballing it a bit.

The only wildcard here is Donkey Kong because I have a feeling that nintendo will put more advertising into Wii Party. It will still sell well but Wii Party will take some of its momentum away. Zelda I think will sell better imo since it's Zelda and coming out next year so nintendo will rigorously promote it. GT5 will move around a million consoles but if people think it will sell an amount close to  the 15 million GT3 sold or even the 10.5 that GT4 sold. It might sell around 7 million but that I think is optimistic.

Overall though I think it will be SS>GT5>DKC

but this will only be if nintendo goes to promote wii party instead of DKC (which is highly likely.)

I didn't even think of that.  Initially I looked at Twilight Princeess' very good multiplatform sales while taking into consideration the Wii's scurrent install base, the likelihood of all GameCube owners having purchased Wiis by this point, and Nintendo's marketing department being at the top of its game, and I came to the conclusion that Skyward Sword has the potential to be the best selling Zelda title since the Ocarina of Time.  The fact that it is reliant on a peripheral certainly puts a damper on that.

Though Nintendo could sell Skyward Sword at $50 with Motion Plus, much like Wii Sports Resort.  Unlikely, but it's possible.

GT5>DKCR>SS
All will be great sellers because of hype and since all are great franchises :)

Now what do you think GT5's LTD figures are going to be?

DK>zelda>GT5...

Just saying...
