I think it can do it. More likely not, though.

Yes, they will get 1 million units sold in that time period in the US, but world wide I expect 3-4 million (all regions). I think EU will do 2 million by itself, meaning over. So with everything, to me, 3-4 million first week sounds very realistic. Also have to understand that GT series sell well over time, it's not like other franchise with the "fresh factor". With like 75% of the sales in the first month. They seem to sell for a long time and I expect no different.

Stop with the crazy predictions! It's not doing 800k or 1 million in America. It's DEFINITELY not doing 2 million in Europe. And it's not doing 3 million worldwide. You guys are going to make the game a "flop"!

I don't think 800k is quite out of the question. But Ill have to see how preorders start to pick up in the next few weeks.

Time for hype

I think maybe 2mil WW is a reasonable prediction for launch week, considering pre-orders and GT Prologue. but it would be nice for 3m. however the series is known for monumental legs, so who knows where it could end up. but theres really stiff competition so....

It's like I've been saying, GT5:P Prologue proves there's still a strong desire for the series. This just confirms that those people who bought the Prologue already jumped on GT5 and with 10 weeks left, those numbers will only continue to grow.

Do I think they'll lose some sales due to the long dev time: yes. Will it be a major factor: no. 9-10mill is something I think it can do.

I personally believe that someone who wanted GT5 two summers ago in 2008 is still going to want it now, meh.
