I agree with disolitude, the racing sim market just isnt what it used to be, one of the big draws of racers was playing multiplayer with friends but the rise of console FPS has made a dent into that I think.

I say ODST has a larger opening week but a big drop off, and GT5 outsells it lifetime by about 2 million.

GT5 will spank it.

Its got no Master Chief, so don't expect i to anywhere near H3 numbers.

Also its a big world, and Halo don't mean much in much of it and the market it does matter is getting hammered by the economic issues.

i lol'd

Its gonna be close

This.

First week ODST

Lifetime gt5

I'm gonna say ODST. I don't believe GT5 will be as big of a seller as many people believe. GTA IV didn't even put up 7-8mil on PS3 so a racing game may not even come close no matter how big it was on PS2.

Around the same first week, perhaps GT5 will be a little higher, but GT5 LT, without a doubt.

GTA4 was multiplat.

GTA IV PS3 doesn't work in the Xbox 360 due to the power of the RSX!!!!

No, it's due to the lack of the C3LL!
