I'd say it doesn't have a chance in hell to beat halo 3's opening week, neither will it beat Halo 3 ltd...

Totally agree :)

 

After people have played GT5: prologue I seriously doubt half of those will buy GT5 as it was a HUGE disappointment specially after playing other sim games such as forza 2, graphics aren't everything as that game clearly showed lol

i think it would be very hard to sell over 9 millions with only 21 millions consoles sold but lets see...it will definatlyy sell well!

The more i look into the sales the more i think what i believe what i said.  GT has been lowering in sales since it started in Japan with GT1 selling the most by quite a bit.  Whether it is gonna outsell Halo is gonna depend on NA, i really expect sales to continue to slide in Japan.  I'm sure it's gonna be big in Europe, even 4 sold almost as much as 3.  I can see it selling 5 million or more in Europe, and around a million in Japan, but whether it outsells Halo is gonna depend on whether NA can sell on par with europe or not.  The GT games that sold huge numbers actually sold more in NA than in Europe. 

 

GT3 1.89 million.

GT Concept - 0.43
GT4p - 0.79
GT4 - 1.16
= 2.38

No GT is not declining in Japan, strong as ever.

Lack of online really hurt the final build, theough Europe will eat it up no matter what it seems.  GT4 undersold due to online being cut, that was to be the big reason to upgrade from GT3 it really hurt its sales.

Now look how nuts about GT Europe is.

GT Concept - 1.13
GT4p - 0.57
GT4 - 5.73
= 7.43

Now think what full GT5, online Top Gear test track more Euro Excotic (Ferrari) will do. 

And crazy thing is as great as GT is, there is plenty that can be made better.

Why would you add prologue to the total sales it doesn't even make sense.  GT1 sold 2.55 million and it was downhill from there.  GT3 sold slightly more than GT2 but it went back down from there.  GT5 will not sell more than 4 in Japan.  No game has even sold half that much in Japan on PS3 yet. 

 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Just showing the franchise is as strong as ever, there were 3 disk GT releases after GT3 and they sold damn well.

First GT of each gen is always the highest selling, thats what sales show dont they.  GT5 is on course to be one of the higher selling ones just like GT and GT3

Of course none has sold half as much, then FF13 will come and change everything.  GT5 will release post FF13 Japan.

Ahh for fuks sake.

GT3 relaesed on 12 million user base now what ehh ? is it that hard to understand that before th edamn game even released the user base will increase alot.  That over the time its sold user abse will increase.

GT games sale not for months not a year but years.

LMAO so wrong its hilarious.

GTp buyers are hardcore GT fans, many of you call it a demo yet they shell out 40 just to get a taste of the full GT.

By the way GTs fanbase does not even give a rats ass about a far inferior game like Forza.  Look at sales kid the only dissapointment is a $40 demo sales as good as the best Forza.

GT5 will outsell Halo 3 . Halo 3 is almost 10 milion and it can reach 11 million lifetime, but GT5 will sell 12-15 million.
It doesn´t matter the less ps3 user base, GT5 is always a 9,5/10 game and has millions of fans.
GT5 is one of few games that sell very very high everywhere ( japan, us, others); Halo will never be in japonese people hearts.


 

^^This!

 

 

The PS3 installed has proven it cannot support even one title over 5 million copies. Do you actually want to whole heartedly support that theory?

Forza isn't inferior its everything gran turismo has plus damage and minus graphics.

The only reason GT sells so much better is because it has the name on it.

Point in case:  GT5: Prologue got 80 on metacritic, Forza 2 got 90, the only reason why GT5: Prologue sold almost as much as Forza 2 is the name..nothing more nothing less.  

Prologue could have gotten a 50 metacritic and it still would have almost sold the same, simply because of the name.

So really forza 2 is not inferior in the least to GT, it just isn't quite as well known and die hard GT fanboys won't even try playing it because they assume its a trash game.

 The point is PS2 userbase reached 125 millions and contributed to the GT3 numbers. PS3 userbase is in a completely different league. You can't compare PS2 with PS3, it's like comparing games on the GC vs. the Wii.

Way inferior, to millions of GT fans it simply wont do.

Simple way to explain is all the Halo fans would not like K2 gamepaly.  Now both games got reviewd +9s but that just wont do.

By the way for some one that argues agianst GTs popualrity you sure think its Name is uber powerfull enough to sell a 5/10 score by the millions.
