Didn't the glorified demo of this game sell 5 million already?

I think things will be fine if that's the case.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

i think people are genuinly worried about GT5 becuase of the lack of pre-orders, imo i'm also worried, even MW2 hasnt sold 9 mil on the PS3, is it possible that a racing game can do it?? i hope that its bundled in the US for the best results.

@zgamer5

I don't see why this is the FPS generation. Shooters have been popular since the 90s with Doom, Wolfenstein, Marathon, Duke 3D, Half-Life.

Last gen had a lot of GTA clones which I'm not sorry to see the back of.

MW2 hasn't sold 9 mil, but that's in less than a year mind you. GT games sell for years so don't expect over 9 mil after the first year...

You have a point, the bundle could sell very well for 2 or 3 years, the series is known for its monumental legs. from what i've seen and heard its nothing short of a masterpiece, and the best in the series; lets hope it can do it!!

it hasnt taken off like some expected because its not as big as it used to be and the wait probably lost fans. Though im sure itll do great but i belive itll be the lowest selling console GT. lawl!!!!

Yeah, I remember when MGS4 was going to be the lowest selling Metal Gear Solid title, or when God of War III would crawl to 2.5 mill but not much more.

Well i never said it wouldnt be huge im just saying it wont sell like the others. also theres like a three year difference between god of war 2 and god of war 3  I believe while  GT4 came out in 2005 and Gt5 is releasing in 2010 which is a 5 year difference.  Though i guess since theres a 4 year difference between metak gear 3 and 4 i cant really use that excuse accurately lol im just saying.

But what makes that apparent?

Based on how other games have sold on the ps3 and how the preorders are looking I guess.

What other games? Big PS2 franchises have sold on par or better on PS3. Few exceptions - Ratchet for instance. But God of War, Metal Gear Solid, and GT5:P have all proven that the PS3 can still push big PlayStation franchises, and the Prologue is the highest selling PS3 exclusive at this point, with MGS4 right behind it.

The pre-orders haven't told me much of anything other than this will be a game with legs, as GT always is.

Wait im saying that no game on the ps3 has had sales as close to the gran turismos on ps2 even gta 4 on ps3 couldnt manage half of what san andreas did on ps2 i belive. Im not saying it wont sell huge amounts im saying it wont sell like the others and the legs probably wont be as awesome as previous gran turismos. I mean i highly doubt it beats mw2s sales. And how have the pre-orders told you that the game will have legs? i mean iim sure it will but the preorders tell you that?
