Notice how San Andreas blew past it's predecessors even though it had less time to sell (only a year before the X360 released).

I'm not seeing it, frankly, though then again i didn't see what the big deal was with Skyrim. The more prevalent idea is that late-gen fatigue diminishes sales potential, and that the GTA name has slid in prominence a bit, though that all depends on what's really under the hood with GTAV and whether they deliver something stronger.

Software sales in 2008 were very lukewarm for the PS360 compared to know. Games didn't really start to sell loads until 2009. And 2011 was huge. Games like MW3, BF3, Skyrim, UC3, Gears 3, Batman, etc all selling more than predecessors despite the crowded season. GTAV will likely have giant campaign as well. The game will be massive. I'm willing to bet that GTAV will match GTAIV's LTD sales within a year of its release.

over 22 million sales in a year? Bold.

Sorry, I meant to say on the PS3 & 360. So like 18/19 mill on the PS3 & 360.

around or slightly higher than 4, install base means nothing now except that you'll have the majority of sales take place much earlier than 4

i dont see a wiiu release making a meaningful difference at this juncture

i personally aint looking forward to it that much after playing 4 and MP3 that engine it slow and lagy
