GT5 is likely another 10+ million seller.

How many copies of GT does each PS3 owner need?
It'll be lucky to break 2 million with the PS3 install base what it is.

Have you any idea how many folks (including me) are waiting for GT5 to buy the system?

So don't tell me crap about the install base!

I'm sorry, but this is like comparing Mario and Rachet...

Mario: GT
Rachet: Forza

I'll stand at this.

@ Apollo

There isn't a chance in the world that a full GT can sell less than 5 million.

I agree with your sentiment OP.

I think two major reasons. 1. the eternal Brand name. It always has moved units.

2. Is there a PS3 version? or is it just 360. I don't knoe but if its 360 that your comparing than I offer that for some reason Driving games aren't "IN" right now. GRiD didn't sell well either. PS fans have been waiting for GT series games, not the same case for Forza.

Maybe 2010, but whenever it comes out it'll still outsell all Forzas combined. YIKES! OUCH! HOLD THE PHONE!

That tells me right there you don't really know what you're talking about.

I don't know but let's compare that last 2 Gran turismo OVERALL scores to the last 2 Forza motorsport Games shall we...

 

 

Release date: NA February 22, 2005

Gran Turismo 4 - PS2
Avg Ratio: 89%

& Release Date: May 3, 2005

Forza Motorsport - XBOX
Avg Ratio: 93%

 

Forza Motorsport 1, GT :ZER0

Round 2: Release Date: April 15, 2008

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - PS3

Avg Ratio: 80%

&

May 29, 2007

Forza Motorsport 2 - X360

Avg Ratio: 90%

Forza:2, GT:0

Do you wanna Dispute this? Clearly Forza quality are top notch, Funny how Forza 2 managed to outscore GT5:P when that game came out a year later.. and had time to improve.

 

Did you not read the 2 posts above yours? Are you really fucking comparing a PROMOTHERUCKINGLOGUE to a a FULL GAME? Are you fucking retarded?

 

Wait!? Hold the phone here this game sold at retail price $40.00, This game was reviewed as an actual GAME NOT a DEMO but a GAME by many Gaming sites, so You're saying we should let let the so called "PROLOGUE" slide because it's not a full game yet many video game sites reviewed it like it actually was?

People would pay 40 dollars because the know they are getting a quality game...not because its a full game, wait till GT5 is out.

 

 

Yeah when is that coming 2010...? yeah..Ouch 3 forza games since 2005, & Another one headed in 2009 by Turn 10..Yeah When was the last Gran turismo Game 2005? 3 forza Games coming out in under 5 years..YIKES!

 

Please, enlighten me as to when the 3rd Forza game came out?

I'd really like to know.
