Forums - Sony - Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition announced

 

How long until GT5 passes 10 million? (GT4 still sold 190K last year)

In 2013 19 35.19%
 
In 2014 15 27.78%
 
In 2015 10 18.52%
 
In 2016 9 16.67%
 
Total:53

PD should set a 2nd dev team that will work on PSV titles, 1 team will delay both GTPSV and GT6. Nevertheless, holiday 2014 launch for GT6 would be the right time.

hehe yep :D I just love how it's one game after another....GT,. uncharted, heavy rain. With GT I think people just don't understand how it sells long term. I feel sorry for ethomaz...he had to debate for god knows how many pages with some people about it

This has been a crazy gen. Some predictions were outrageously optimistic, others desperately negative. What I've learned is to look at trends, brand power, and word of mouth as the best indicators of how to make a predicition. Most of the big PS3 exclusives shattered expectations (we won't bring up the one that I mainly hung solo on for some time ), but one thing was always certain in my mind - GT5 would be one of the most underestimated titles all gen (mind you, it still has no universal, constant bundle like GT4 had in the same time frame).

This Academy Edition should do great over there, bundled or not.


Yeah I hope they announce it for NA too. Sales here won't be anywhere near the Europe ones but still could move quite a few copies. But yeah crazy gen indeed. Sony must be happy to see the strength of the franchise going into next gen, despite having a much smaller user base this time around. Bodes well for the next GT as well

what do you reckon? GT6 or GT6 prologue? 

I'm thinking they'll do a Prologue for GT6 (which will probably sell a good 4-5 mill, give or take), but I can't comment on the next full iteration until we have an idea of release dates, userbase (which will be a minimal issue), and word of mouth.

One thing's for sure - it will sell like hotcakes no matter when it launches.

Yep, agree 100%

@Turkish: I think we might see GT for vita announced this gamescom.

oh, just an observation.

Your cocksure prediction of 10m by Sept 2012 just shows that you dont think clearlty when it comes to any GT5 predictions... thats all.

Be sure to update that thread wont you.

I will update the thread .

My prediction looks 1 year late today.



do i see gloaters in here?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Epic.

Now I can say the GT5 will sell over 1.5 million this year... near 9 million after December.

So 10 million late 2013 or early 2014.

It's been a trend with many Playstation related predictions, so it does not surprise me. They come late, but comes for sure...



i mean the strategy of releasing a Prologue, then the actual game and then an extended version...

i dont like it, its just an strategy for making more money out of the same game



Correct
