GT is one of Sony killer apps ,but not the only one .Games as Singstar and Buzz in Europe may move as many hardware or more than this one .Also PES if a proper next gen version was released (and not the correct but half baked 2008 offering that has had to be patched even ).Others as MGS4 ,Killzone 2 and Final Fantasy XIII or White Knight Story may move a lot of machines depending on what market .

@shams

as I have always said, all EU needs in GT 5 (now with the top gear track the effect will be even more)

& all Japan needs is FFXIII

USA is a lost cause (unless Kz2 turns into this gigantic blockbuster)

This is only a Prologue and I doubt very seriously that Sony will release the PSP GT game before GT5 hits next year.

Besides, Final Fantasy XIII is the big hit for the PS3 in Japan. That is the game that will make the biggest splash and have the biggest impact. The PS3 has a solid, not spectacular, linep for Japan early 08.

Burnout Paradise will not bomb ... believe me.

Same for Wipeout Pulse (I get a preview from a basher video game website and it seems very good)

@libulete - Wipeout Pulse 

Preview? Full game is out now and even I wrote a review for this game and it 's wonderful. Definitely one of the best Wipeout game, if you like the series - buy it.

A Prologue and a demo are to very different things. This is much more than a demo.

Edit: Woo! 1,000th post! I never thought Id get this far in a forum.

I think that GTHD is more of a demo. It has what 10 cars and one track. People are kinda undercutting them a bit.

This review is certainly great news for racing fans and exceptional news for the PS3. It will move a lot of hardware in all regions. I read somewhere this morning that they completely scrapped the physics engine they were using and started from scratch. That's great news as well. If the final game just matches Forza 2's physics calculations and throws in 1080P 60fps to boot, it's going to be a phenomenal game... I suspect P.D. took their time with the physics engine to be sure they left nothing on the table that fanboys could point at the competitor to for having something better... I can't wait to try it out...

The GT5:prolouge demo is already out on the JPSN store, it has 8(or 10) cars and 1 track with no online play. GT5:prolouge has 5 tracks and 37 cars with online play. PD has been releasing concept and prologue games for quite awhile and charging people for it, no one has complained about it before (as a matter of fact, I remember some people complaining about the point that some of the concepts and prolouges didn't even get released outside of Japan) I don't see what the big deal is now. They are not charging $60 dollars for the game, if people want it bad, they'll get it. If they don't, they wait for GT5. Simple.

 
@darthdevidem:

That's not true, they may not get back into 1st or 2nd in the U.S. But America is certainly not a "lost cause". MGS4 and FF13 can easily sell systems outside of Japan aswell. LBP *might* become huge, Sony still has GOW3 up their sleeves and IF Blu-ray takes off.... anything can happen. The only thing that's a lost cause this generation is Microsoft in Japan, everything else is wide open at this point.
