Another SONY fanboy prediction is GT5 selling 10million, PS3 will overtake 360 this year, MGS4 will increase sales of 30k and sustain that level for Ps3 HW, PS3 will outsell 360 in NA, LPB will have 6 million sales(I have seen more), PS3 is selling as well as PS2

The bolded is actually possible. Actually its highly likely.

It is? HUH? I've never heard of GT1, 2, 3, 4 until this year. Maybe because I live in a hole guarded by Miyamoto, Iwata, Mario, and Link and am not allowed to bring in a console that isn't made by Nintendo.

Just look at the sales of the previous games.

I would personally say that it was possible but not likely at the moment ...

Gran Turismo 3 had a lot of things going for it, like it was the first "next generation" racing game released on a platform that sold over 100 Million systems and the game ended up being heavily bundled.

100 million for PS3 is almost confirmed, but will it do PS2 like numbers?

Please tell me your logic. Also tell me what you expect wii sales to be.

If I remember correctly there was someone that in one WiiFit thread predicted that that game would be a flop.

There are some pretty pathetic sales predictions, but even worse than that is when people don't learn from their wrong predictions, and keep doing similar ones.
