I FEEL GT5 will do over 9.5 Million WW LTD (any one disagree?)

I disagree I expect it to be around 5 million and at most 6 million. The U.S. sales won't be that high and Europe will probably see a 4th or more of it's sales come from england which only has, I believe, a 2 million ps3 install base.

I think it will sell 8m before till Dec 2010 and then continue over 10m for sure

@foolpitter

I'll take you up on your prediction

I really don't know what to predict for this one. For one I think sales may take a slight hit due to Prologue having been on the market for so long, and in all regions. Casual race fans may be more than happy with what they already have and decide not to upgrade. Additionally there is a legitimate competitor in Forza 3 that will take away one more reason 360 only owners may have had for buying a PS3 as well. On the other hand, the series historically does big sales, and will most likely be bundled at some point in it's lifetime as it's sony's true flagship titles.

I'm going to go with a broad 7-12M guess because there are just so many different ways this could play out. As for first week, between 1 and 2M.

Okay Darthdevidem01 my prediction is 5.5 million by the end of 2010. So how do I bet and how exactly does this work?

I think this game will sell around 10+ mil ltd, and should do around 3.5-4 Mil WW in its first 8 weeks.

+1 (same here).

@foolpittier

I put our BET into the OP

we are "fighters 1"

now we need to decide the "conditions".....so if you or me loose, whats our punishment (in a way of saying things)

so what do you want the stakes to be?

Avatar/sig control for a month?

6M WW at most. NA doesn't care for PS3 software that much anymore. Not with Forza representing close to 20 M install base for 360 in NA. It's a tough call to get PS3 games to 1M in NA yet alone 2 or more M. This game sales depend heavily on Others. Others alone, with 1.5 to 2M in NA and 700K in Japan will see GT5 tap out at about 6m.
