I can't see GT5 selling anything lower then 7.5 Million. And I can't see anything higher then 11.5 Million. So I would go with third best selling GT.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Best selling.

suprised at all saying similar, i remeber how dumb the vast majority of peeps on here were about GT5 sales potential.

 


 The 'dumb' will be shown when the game comes out and sales a certain amount. Lest we forget that 60% thought the 360 would never again outsell the PS3 any week worldwide. Polls prove nothing. 

Lest we forget how many PS3 exclusives have already been underestimated?

In other words, wait and see.


  So basically the same thing I said. Notice I never said PS3 exclusives hadn't been underestimated either. Indeed polls prove nothing. 

As with the post you quoted, you're argument is something that can be proven wrong as well, hence why you were quoted. It's a wait and see situation. And I didn't say you said anything about PS3 exclusives, it's just a counter-point.

 My argument is that we'll know when the game comes out and not sooner, so I don't see anyone being able to prove that wrong unless there's someone who can predict the future. Don't see any need for a counter point either. 

You said the "dumb" will be shown when the game launches and sells a "certain amount". Unless you were elaborating, and agreeing,  on/with the poster you quoted, you countered what he was saying. I countered what you were saying, that's called a debate. Doesn't matter what you see a need for (especially since the same can be said of your initial quote).

 I said the "dumb" ones will be shown according to the actual sales, the person I quoted said x people are dumb for doubting GT5's selling potential. If you read my argument, you can see why it's made. I didn't agree with him, otherwise I could have not made the argument that we'll know who the "dumb" ones are after the game is actually selling. And like I said, it's a pretty solid argument since as far as I know, people cannot predict the future. 

 The reason I didn't see a need for your counter (not really a counter) was that I never argued or even slightly implied anything against it at all. It was just some random statement from you about something unrelated to my point.

You continue to fail to get the point, which won't be revisited.

lol.....wow.....

algorith, your comment on polls being ilogical was a good point, CGI then added to it by giving underestimated PS3 games as an example, and you aknowledged that he agreed with you. Done.

CGI, you did not counter anything (you supported his arguement) because he was ellaborating on the original post, you just don't see that for some reason. You continued to elaborate by giving another example. It's not a debate when two people agree that polls prove nothing. Done.

The Best Selling GT game? I don't think so. I think gamers forgot how many copies GT3 sold. It was like 14 million and GT5 is not going to sell that many copies. I already stated that GT5 will probably sell 4-5 million copies worldwide. I'll be surprised if it sells more then that. Should sell over 2 million without any problems by the end of the year. It's not going to outsell Halo Reach or Black Ops. It'll be interesting to see what this game scores. It still may get pushed back to next year. Who knows right now?

I don't. If there were 130 million PS3 in gamers homes and the economy wasn't so bad, I probably could agree. There aren't even 1/2 that many PS3 in gamers homes and the economy is doing worse and worse. Sales are down every month except for Sept because of Halo Reach. People actually think GT5 will sell 10 million copies? GT3 sold 14 million when the ecomony was in much better shape and over 100 million PS3 were in gamer's home. Even GT4 did sell as well as that. We'll see if I'm wrong or not. I'm usually pretty good with these sales trends.

Whats the sales benchmark for the GT franchise?

Anyone????

Gran Turismo - 10.85M
Gran Turismo 2 - 9.37M
Gran Turismo 3 A-spec - 14.89M
Gran Turismo 4 - 11.06M

The worst GT was GT2 with 9.37M copies sold.


So around 10mil.

No PS3 games have ever cross that mark before.

Modern Warfare 2 will do it. But this is Gran Turismo we're talking about. That's the biggest exclusive franchise the PS3 has.

Its very difficult to reliably quantify a brand and how much it will drive Sales.

Worst than prologue? lol

My guess is between 6.5 million and 8 million.  

 

Driving sims are slowly losing their sales and popularity (esp.. in the Americas).  Unfortunately shooters seem to be gobbling up the lost sales for the time being.   This along with the best selling game on the PS3 selling under 10 million units give me my figures.  Not to mention all of the delays that GT5 has had and its stiff competition.

Just because a game doesn't do 15-500million sales, doesn't make it a bad game.  I am certain that GT5 will be the best GT game ever made.  Its just being served to a much more shooter based client list and its a year and a half late to the party.

 

The only way it will break 10 million will be if Sony bundles it for a very extended amount of time.

Prologue took like 2 years to get to over 3 million sold. GT5 will outsell prologue. GT5 might even get to 3 million before the end of the year. People thinking this game is going to sell over 10 million are crazy.

You have this habit of quoting a dead issue (usually one that didn't concern you to begin with) and adding nothing worthwhile. All you've done is repeat what was said and tried to make an issue out of it (where there wasn't one to begin with). It's typical and annoying.

While I owe you no explanation, he just misunderstood what I was saying. But you will be ignored from here on out. Done.

I was just pointing out that you misunderstood him and made an arguement out of nothing. He seems to have understood your point fine, I was just clearing that up to you.

Man you can be rude sometimes. I resolve your arguement, and you blast me, mainly because you weren't 100% right in an arguement. Can't always be right bro, just trying to help.
