I don't think I'll buy a PS3 for it, but I hope it will sell so big to push some developer to make a new great racing sim for PC too (but even just attracting bigger funds to further develop good racers like the announced, but still without any launch date, either definitive or not, 2nd version of rFactor would be fine too).

wow, alot of posts now.

Of course, you know GT5 is about to flopz right?

It will Definitively flop.

No way in the world it'll clear 6-7-8 million. It's impossible!

To be honest, we all know the game won't flop. But it won't sell as much as the previous titles like some Sony fans want us to believe. 6-7-8 million is a good prediction though and I would be very surprised to see better sales unless of course the game is heavily bundled.

6-7-8 million for most franchises is great. For Gran Turismo, it's a step in the wrong direction, especially a game the size and magnitude of GT5.

It will be bundled and I'm sure it'll clear 10 million.

Did you not see the blue PS3 bundle in Japan?

GT5 will be bundled at launch, but for how long? If this bundle and other bundles outside of Japan are around for a period of a year, then the game has a good chance of reaching 10 million. I think Sony will push hard to make this game sell, if GT5 only sells 7 million, thats only twice as much as Forza 3. Sony wants to kill any compeditors image before it grows, I'be sure the game will sell excess of 8 million. However I really doubt anything above 11 million. 10 million is possible in my opinion, but only possible with heavy bundling, and if this Blue PS3 see's shores outside of Japan...... It will get 10 million np.

It will be difficult for GT5 to be anything, but the worst selling GT game, but it's possible that it can outsell GT2..

Yep, Sony has at least four big reasons to sell as many copies of GT5 as possible: maximize profit from the huge investments made on it, help pushing PS3 sales, positive image feedback if it reaches significant sales milestones and keeping the series' name strong, to grant its next games a good start and good chances to stay ahead of the competition.

LOL

So now I'm a Microsoft die hard? You must be new to this site, dude. Anyway, to answer your question, no, it won't sell as well as previous installments that's for sure.

As for baseless bias, do you really think Sony guys doesnt have their own too? See? It works both way.

"to answer your question, no, it won't sell as well as previous installments that's for sure".

and you have proof of this?? I mean for sure???? you got a time time machine O_O,

sounds more like wishful thinking.

 

now fact: both GT1 and GT3 being the first GT titles on a playstation console just like GT5 both went on to sell the most in their respective generations over the squeals on install bases LESS than what the ps3 currently has,

so please tell me how the hell GT5 will with out a doubt, despite having more content than any racer released this gen, sure shot at AAA on a larger install base than the ps1 and 2 at the release of the first GT titles on those console will sell anything less than previous installments??

Because...  T3h PS3 is teh D000MZ3D



"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

It really, really depends on how heavily it's bundled imo.  It would be the worst selling if left to it's own devices, or could be the best selling if it comes free with every PS3 for a year.  Really, it's performance is up to Sony.
