Then tell me a reason why this game should have an attach ratio of what? 30-50%?
What do you mean with the definitive racing game of this generation? I never said anything about that. This game will end somewhere in the 7-8 million. All of sony's first party games haven't sold over 3 million except Moterstom and resistance. Unless you coun't that demo of GT5 which is pretty impressive that it has sales like that lol. Or isn't GT5 prologue a demo? I'm confused lol.

Basically, the OP is trolling.

I personally don't think GT5 is going to sell more than 10 mill. I mean, how many PS3 games have sold more than 5 million? One? To presume that GT5 is going to double the sales of MGS4 is a bit presumptuous.

Besides, the definitive racing game of this generation has already been released. It's called Mario Kart.

So you predict end of generation sales of the PS3 to equal 20-33 million.

Considering it's already broken past your lower target, you're perhaps being a bit pessimistic :P

Where are the numbers for the WoW expansions coming from?

I know the game itself has what like 11 Million subscribers but that doesn't mean that everyone playing buys the expansion. And with them coming out within a year of each other should have cannibalized themselves. I'm not saying it's impossible just want to know where the figures are coming from.

^I think a lot of people buy the expansions tbh. And scottie touche, but my point remains never the less. You'd still be asking for a crazy attach ratio for GT5 to sell 10 million without being heavily bundled. But I guess wii fit has told me anything is possible as it has a crazy attach ratio... I think it has a change of selling more then the ps3 lol. I hope that day doesn't come lol, too much trolling going on then on this forum.

@ quarashi - http://www.blizzard.com/us/press/081121.html WoW:WotLK sold 2.8 million in its first 24 hours and first month sales of over 4 million.

Presumably it has reached 10 million, or will soon

@ samus - not all that crazy an attach rate.

Halo 3 will hit 10 million when the 360 hits about 32 million
SM64 sold almost 12 million on an install base of 33 million
Even the GC and xbox (install base 21 and 24 million) had games sell close to 10 million.

It might not make 10 million, but it definately has a chance, and it is has less to do with the attach ratio than the growing popularity of Forza.
Certain games can get high attach ratios... Super Mario 64 sold almost 12 million on a userbase of 32 million.... Halo 3 is not far behind, same for Halo 2... the only reason GT1,2,3 and 4 didn't have huge attach ratios is because the PS1 and PS2 were the leading consoles and sold too much for the games to stay with them.

It might not sell 10 million, but 8 million is almost guaranteed, less than 9 million is unlikley, and I would say 10 million is a 50:50 chance. (I can't see it exceeding far past 11 million even with heavy bundling... unless it is prolonged force-bundling like Wii Sports, but that is unlikely given how much time and money has been spent on the game only to give it away free with the console.

I'd only give it 20-30% change to actually reach 10 million though. I hope it does reach it though because that will shut some fanboys up.
