Well it certainly put laps around the competitions rival racing franchise.

But it's still a big FPS versus a sim racer.

Don't downplay the #1 PS3 IP. Support your flag and your God


Not sure how to respond to that. You clearly think more of GT than the shilliest of Sony shills if you expect it to compete in todays market against a big FPS.

My beliefs mirror that of my observations with the enemy. So if your telling me PS fans don't hold GT in such high regards as they used to, I shall in turn tone down my perception of GT.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

They can hold it in even higher regards and it wouldn't make the comparison any more relevant aside from fodder for simple minded fanboys to use on forums.

Do you think that Gran turismo 5 can sell 14m in just 2 years? it took GT3 8 years to sell 14m and it took 5 years for GT4 to sell 11m

Gran Turismo is all about legs. GT5 in 2 years sold 9m give it another 2 years and it will pass GT4. maybe?

Don't bother. This guy doesn't think sales matter unless they are from the current year. I guess 2012 Halo 4 sales are now irrelevant and only Halo 4 2013 sales will be relevant.

By his logic, Forza Horizon is a more popular game than Grand Theft Auto lmao.

I wouldn't use GT3 as a measure of GT tritles. It's unique in that it was the most bundled of the sereis, hence the huge difference between it and the usual 9.3-11mill the series is used to.

So no, GT5 will not ever sell 14 million. 11mill at most.


Ethomaz thinks it'll outsell Halo 3. True story.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Wikipedia says. GT3

best-selling unbundled console games of all time, just below Wii Fit Plus.

Who do i believe?

You seriously think GT:5 will outsell Halo 3? I'd love to see the yearly sales breakdown which made you arrive at that outcome.

How many units Halo 3 sold? GT5 will sell over 11.5 million.
1 Halo 3 X360 2007 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 7.69 2.71 0.13 1.19 11.71

Plus the digital sales. So it's probably over 12 million.
