Forums - Sony Discussion - The selling power of Gran Turismo

Well of course it has selling power and GT5 should be no different. 6-7 million thereabouts depending on where PS3 hardware is at the time. If it's over 50 million by its release then brand could put it at about 10 million.

GT5 will never outsell GT3 in lifetime sales. Unless the high game purchasing section of the PS3 installed base increases quickly, GT5 will not even sell past GT4.

Based on what, your opinion.  What makes you think its worth anyhting, you have nothing to dipute fatcs.

Highest selling GT launches on a user base of less then 20 million.

^ Fact.

There's no way GT5 will outsell the best selling GT ever, unless the ps3 manages to really pick up in sales.

I could see it breaking the 10 million mark however, though just barely.

I didn't even realise it at first but when I saw GT5P selling 2 million being just a 40$ demo I noticed how a lot of people in all 3 main regions just love Gran Turismo.
(many people got distracted by lbp and forgot that this is actually ps3's biggest gun and last chance)

 

no, because there wasn't any decent arcade simulation on ps3 then.

if anyone thinks that GT5 will sell 10mln+ he must be retarded.

1. ps3 userbase won't be that huge as psx/ps2 - ps3 probably won't even hit half of ps2 userbase.

2. prologue was released worldwide and definitely will get most full-gt5 improvements by patches plus few cars and tracks so many people won't buy gt5 since prologue will be enough for them.

3. there will be plenty arcade simulators on the market when gt5 gonna hit so it will be tougher for polyphony digital game.

4. before full gt5 will be released forza 3 will hit the market(maybe even forza 4) and will steal many gt5 fans that are tired of waiting and don't want to throw 400$ for console and 1 game.

5. gt5 will be released in 2011 or later which means near the end of this generation just before or after xbox 3
will hit the market and trust me first thing MS will release will be new forza and halo.

 

so no gt5 won't sell 10+mln maybe 4-5mln, but nothing more

1. The PS2 was at some 13M at the time of GT5's release. The PS3 is selling pretty well overall and probably won't stop selling soon.

2. Maybe, but GT5 will have even more stuff. Besides, I doubt they'll want to stick with Prologue anyway. You're group of people is probably too small.

3. On the PS3? I haven't heard of any high-profile ones; GT5 is the only one. Yes, brand name is always a huge factor.

4. I though the makers of Forza were working on something else? That is, Forza 3 will probably be delayed until pretty late. Besides, GT is a huge brand and still a different game from Forza so it won't be that big.  Some impact, yes, but you're exaggerating.

5. 2011? I doubt it. Without Prologue they seemed to be aiming for Mid-2009 but now GT5 might be delayed to 2010. No longer, though, unless something unexpected comes up.



Turn 10, the developers of Forza, or rumored to be working on PGR5 at the moment, since Bizarre Creations is now out of the picture.

GT5 is a major system Seller. We've known this for some time now.



4 ≈ One

It will easily sell 10M when it launches, I personally believe that PD have been told to take there time to make the game by Sony as the install base for PS3 is not yet at a point where 10M sales would be easy to achieve. If you look as how mant updates there have been for GT5 Prologue is to easy to see that GT5 is not being released yet simply due to install base.

Once the PS3 reaches 25M sales that will most probably be when Sony give PD the go ahead to release the game, people saying the PS3 needs to have sold 100M sales in order for GT5 to get 10M need to learn about market saturation.

Trust me...I love to love the GT series. It's the only stable Sony game i've been playing for the longest. The game will sell 5 M at the least and 8.5 M at the  highest.



@S.T.A.G.E

its not about you loving it....its about facts, evidence & past trends

your reasoning is literally just because you "think so"

everyone else has ut valid points forward....especially the one where they say Ps2 had only 13 million when GT 3 launch



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

S.T.A.G.E. it is painfully obvious you know absolutely nothing of markery saturation, would be best if you knew of it before predicting sales for GT5. GT5 prologue sold 2M and it is just an extended demo so GT5 will definitely sell at least 5M in it's first year.
