 Not at all. What I said is that GT5 will reach 3 millions no matter what. It could eventually reach 5 millions but won't come close to what GT3 did that's for sure.

Could lol

GT5p does 3 million (no psn sale included) yet the full GT willl only do 5 million.  Halo3 is near 10 million even though it came out on a 12 million ww 360 user base yet GT a proven franchise time and time agian will only do 5 million.

Do you even have one remotly semi intellignet reason behind it, are are you like a child screaming that their opinion must be right because its theirs.

 

Bla bla bla...arent you tired of always repeating the same things over and over??? Because I am!

GT5P did 3 millions because it was the only GT available on PS3 since its launch, plus it was heavily bundled in some regions.

GT is not as popular franchise as GTA and GTAIV (which is the PS3 best selling game BTW) is only at 5.58M.

PS2 userbase helped a lot GT3 and GT4 numbers. Even if by miracle PS3 userbase come close to reach 50 millions by 2013, GT5 won't reach 10 millions. Like I said before take a look at sales number of GC games vs. Wii games (so far).

Mario Kart Wii (so far) = 15.84M vs. Mario Kart Double Dash (GC) = 6.96M

Super Mario Galaxy (so far) = 8.11M vs. Super Mario Sunshine = 6.28M

Mario Party 8 (so far) = 6.53M vs. Mario Party 7 = 1.53M

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (so far) = 8.59M vs. Super Smash Bros. Melee = 7.08M

Even Animal Crossing did better than its GC version only 6 months after its release.

Now please if you want to pretend that userbase doesnt matter, I don't want to argue with you anymore.

There is no doubt GT5 will do better than GT5:P, maybe 1 or 2 millions more. I'm sorry if you have unrealistic expectations about it like so many other PS3 fanboys did with games like MGS4, Resistance 2, LBP and KZ2.

With the good numbers that halo 3 has been putting up, it might just beat out all the numbers.

Anyone who thinks GT5 will hit 10 million is delusional

As much as I love Forza and think it's superior in many respects to the GT series, anyone who thinks Forza 3 will be graphically on par with GT5 is insane. Polyphony has always had some of the finest looking games around (which is why they take so bloody long to release).

Still, this game should have been out a year ago. Sony is giving Polyphony too much leeway and GT5 could have been a difference maker last holiday season. To think that we still don't even know if they're adding damage to the game is insane...

If any sony exclusive that's coming out in the next year has the chance to beat it it's GT but I don't think it'll end up happening.

I don't think anyone is saying Forza 3 will look better because it WON'T, not a chance but where it matters (gameplay, features and physics) most people that have played Forza know it will be a lot better than GT5 just like Forza 2 was rated higher than GT5: Prologue and GT4 in 90% of reviews and on the average metacritic scores,

It's been mentioned many times before, the only reason GT5 is going to do well it because of the NAME nothing else, most people would have given up on a game that takes this long to release, it's only because it has the name and being PS3's only real savior, if GT5 can't turn the tide for the PS3 NOTHING will and this is the sad truth that even sony fans know deep down but will never admit!

I didn't say others thought Forza would look better but I recall someone saying it could look similar to GT5 (which it won't).

GT:5p had some redeeming qualities to it in amazing graphics, in-car perspective, and online numbers per race (though not that important to anyone who has witnessed the typical mayhem involved in an 8-man Forza pub race).

What it boils down to is the features that were left out of GT:5p. Damage, car selection, options, and customization are where Forza beats it handily. If Polyphony doesn't deliver in all those areas when this game releases (as they should after these ridiculous delays), the game will be a failure in my eyes.

If they do deliver, though... Wow. The potential is huge.

Totally agree!
