3,94 million according to sony

and ~4 million for forza 2 according to Vgchartz

I think Sony can be really happy that a demo sold as well as Forza 2, imagine how big the full game will be.

will Forza 3 vs GT5 be the same thing as Killzone 2 vs Halo 3? (saleswise)

The 3.94 million is shipped to retailers, not consumers. MS would probably report 4.4 mil, or somewhere around that number, copies were sold as well. I've never heard this game be called a demo, if it was called that hardly any gaming sites would review it then. It was a standalone game like any other of the GT games Sony didn't say this, PD did. It's sold dude.

Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

I don't see how that is a legitimate comparison. Forza 3 has not had near the hype of the other three titles listed there (heck, it wasn't really confirmed until two months ago) which had hype trains going for years before their release date. I do think you can compare Forza 2 vs. GT5:P to Killzone 2 vs. Halo 3: ODST, in the sense that a full game of an up and coming IP is going up against an "expansion" or a "demo" (not saying they are, but they have been labelled as such) of the big kid on the block. In that sense, Forza 2 is going to be much more successful when compared with GT5:P than Killzone 2 will be with Halo 3:ODST.

themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
