Forums - Gaming - If Grand Turismo 5 is released in 2009, could PS3 close the gap with 360?

If GT5 releases tomorrrow and bundled with a $300 PS3, sure. But I have a hunch that won't happen.

 

This. Shit, with a PS3 at 60 bucks PS3 will top Wii and lead over it by atleast 3M by the end of the year....

 

It would be a very close race between the PS3 surpassing the Wii and Sony collapsing.

 



Around the Network

The gap will close.....alittle bit. Maybe 1-1.5 million consoles added for the PS3 to catch the 360's lead. The PS3 might even outsell the 360 for a bit, but it will not pass the 360.



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

 

I don't think it will close the gap in 09 if that happens but it will close in on the gap

it doesnt need a bundle i think if the ps3 is priced at 299 and the game comes out b4 09 WW than that should be enough

Well I don't mean to say it will boost 8 miilion ahead. what I mean is the gap between 360 and the ps3 will get smaller.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

No

If Gran Turismo 5 got a 110 on metacritic it might happen. And considering the alarming number of games that get near 100 on hype, it doesn't seem that far from possible. (Kidding, I don't particularly like metacritic)
In a real world, never. The ps3 would have to more than triple weekly sales to beat out the 360. Even if gran turismo 5 became the best game ever it wouldn't happen.



I'm not a fanboy, I just don't enjoy dual analog control.  It's d-pad or wii-mote for me.

the conduit has changed the way wii play games.

I know.  I'm sick of the puns too.

if the ps3 cost 60$ and it was bundled with gt5 then yeah...



Maybe if you got a free ps3 with every copy of Gran Turismo.

Well GT4 sold 9 million copies.

IF less than 1 million of them currently own a PS3 AND the remaining 8+ million feel it's worth the upgrade, then YES it IS possible. Unlikely I think, but possible.

I'm sure Nintendo franchise games pushed this kind of demand.
