Forums - Sales - Gran Turismo 5 vs Forza 3

Ah Dsister. You have fallen into that trap. Look up GT3 figures (it was released on an install base small - I THINK less than 20m).
Also GT5p has outsold previous prologues with a smaller install base to work with.
Look at the facts, even if GT5 does poorly (7.5m) and F3 does excellent (6m)...........GT5 still outsells Forza

@ lestat

I enjoyed your post, however an F1 car still by far handles better than the Le Mans car I was referring too.



@Taz

I haven't seen the Forza 3 video with the Le mans racing, what is the car depicted there? Does it show a final lap time in that video?

You say Realistic, then you tell me a Le Mans car handles like an F1 car and that F3 can outsell GT5. Hypocritical.
And go ahead 'Saint.' Point out where I was a fanboy, biased or inaccurate in that post. Facts sem to hurt you lol. You act like you are some mighty anti-Fanboy warrior to get away from the fact that you have repeatedly praised Forza, bashed GT and been inaccurate through this thread.
If Im being a Fanboy, I would be banned. Thank god the mods still seem to be sane

Well, yeah,  Ialready did that, frankly I don't need to waste my time trying to prove the obvious once again. I realish facts, its' just too bad you don't have any to speak of. And exactly where have I "bashed" GT? I have just been using facts (sans the three times I concieded that I very well could be wrong) to rufuute the lunicy you have been consistantly spewing. I mean how many times must I say this, I think GT5 is going to be an awsome game, I just don't think it's going to be that much different that Forza3. You have not gotten banned yet because you are just being annoying and ignorant, those are not bannable acts. Besides, I don't want you banned...I'm having too much fun letting you consitantly prove my point.

You could not be more wrong. I don't enjoy most racing games because I suck at them ( I did, however enjoy Need For Speed Most Wanted, and NASCAR 1999 on PC), but I love racing. I am actually planning to get Forza3 and if funds permit, and  Ican convince my wife to let me, buy a PS3 and GT5 (mainly for the Nascar racing...if you can fine tune your car) So, please justify your previouse statement...remember, it's not for my benefit as much as the other members on this site...oh, and it may make you look like you know what you are talking about.

 

Look mate, I'm not sure why YOU are still here in this thread. I can't find in any of your posts what reason you have to believe "GT5 won't be much different than F3" than FANBOYISM.

For bloody hell's sake read your own words... rofl. I said you don't strike me as someone who plays racing games and you respond saying "I couldn't be more WRONG?" then you inmediately contradict yourself saying YOU DON'T ENJOY MOST RACING games and that YOU SUCK AT THEM. ROFL. Excuse me for laughing at your face, but who couldn't? I was right all this time, you are no racing fan. Need for Speed Most Wanted? yeah, great game, but (chuckle) seriously, for a genre you don't play much and suck at you seem to defend too much F3 . By your own words I take it you don't own any Forza game, and if you do, you rarely played them, and still suck at them). A guy like you don't know anything about Gran Turismo and the passion of racing and playing that marvelous game. So please, stop talking like you know shit of anything you think you're talking about, quit embarassing yourself and leave this thread to the people who love racing games, not fanboys like you who suck at them (and at many other things like arguing, lol)....

@Kanariya

I didn't know that PD had a sales figure link in their website, good find there.
So, by my calculations, GT5:P sold 3,67M acording to PD. Maybe the difference of 0.62M from the data on this site is because that there is a lot of shelved copies, but i seriously doubt it, that is a very big difference just to be shelved copies. So probably, those are the sales figures including the downloads on the PSN, but at this point, i'm just speculating.

Even so, the fact still stands that GT5:P didn't outsell Forza 2, although I would never expected it to, it's a full game against a Prologue.

What struck me the most was the huge loss of american public from GT3 to GT4, it went down from 7,14M to 2,97M, I believe that Forza must have had some influence in here, and the fact that GT4 didn't offer anything really new over GT3 must have played a decisive factor as well.

So, in order for GT5 to be succesful, it would have to continue garnering it's european fans, which is almost a fact that it will, but it would also have to make some american fans to come back to the series, and that will be the biggest challenge IMO for GT

to be fair, he says He likes actual racing, just not racing games.  Technically, you bet that he wasn't a fan of racing.  So, technically, you were talking about racing in general not in games.  So I can see how that could be misinterpretted.

However, this is a gaming website, so I think your implication was there... He just chose not to see it.
