Does everyone seem to forget that Forza 2 was bundled a ton? I know it's convenient to forget that and act like Forza is suddenly a big series, but let's not. I see Forza pulling this off. It's impossible for the PSP to have a huge hit nowadays with the disgustingly high piracy rate. It could easily sell a couple million, but I don't see it beating Forza.

Iam sure PSP Go will be a bitch to pirate though.

And new hardware, id bet my left nut it will be bundled with GT from day one,  Its a sure success.

I think its safe to say GT:P will recieve 600k in Japan alone. That 600k will be tough to get back.

@ Darth: The Xbox 360 will have digital distribution of games coming out in August/September. Forza 3 comes out in October. So the whole online sales thing works both ways.

I would give it to Forza 3 simply because Xbox 360 users buy many more games than PSP users. I suspect piracy less than the number of people using the PSP as a portable media player rather than a gaming device.

Do we know for sure if it'll have new games as well? Also I wouldn't buy Forza 3 through that, I'd buy it on disc. Like even if they put Mass Effect 2 on that thing, I'll still buy the disc, on the PSP though, only DD for me, I'm sure lots of other people feel the same way.

PSP SW actually sells in Japan where GT is pretty big. (Forza sold 40k there)

I say this might be a good fight.

Very true, GTM might sell 1 million in JP alone (especially true when you count DD).

If GT5 does come out this holiday then Forza is battling the wrong GT lol

Aye, as Famitsu shows. Put SW out that the Japanese want and that SW will sell. And if there ever was a game that would be made to be played on a portable device i'd say it would be a racer. Also I'm calling this right now. There is going to be some sort of GT PSP and GT5 conectivity.

interesting predictions so far.

Who would've thought 2 months ago that GT PSP not GT5 would be releasing this xmas!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

They both release in October don't they? Should be interesting.

Forza 2 was bundled a lot. The bundling may have increased its fanbase, but it's still not a big series.

Smart decision by Sony, if they released GT5 together with GTM, GT5 would overshadow it, as it'll overshadow every other racing game.

Forza will win this one.

Unless PD tell us the downloads.
