So how many of those games are comming out in 2009?

Those games were all created because of initial sales projections for the PS3 which were over calculated because these projections were based off of the sales of the PS2. Today they're going to take the 5.5 Million PS3 systems sold in its initial year and plug that into their mathematical model and the computer is going to spit out sales in the Gamecube/XBox/Dreamcast range for 2008/2009 and many/most third party developers are going to say "No way are we producing a $40,000,000 game for a system that will have less than 20 Million users!".

Lol your joking right? Half of the people that want GT5 have a PS3 already? Doubt it. You do know GT sells better than Halo right? And this isnt the Xbox, so the PS3 fanbase is diverse not all shooter fans.



Since when is Ace Combat 6 on the PS3? I was under the impression that at TGS, amidst the Eternal Sonata multiplat announcement, Namco and MS actually reaffirmed that it's an exclusive.

 I'm willing to bet my left nut that Halo 3 will outsell GT5. GT3 sold amazingly largely because of the bundling as shown by the drop in sales with GT4 (not saying both didn't sell amazingly, just that GT3 didn't really SELL as ridiculously as people say). GT4 sold about as much as Halo 2. And with the way sales are going for the PS3 and 360, I consider it a safe bet that Halo 3 will outsell GT5.

PS3s best selling game is a shooter followed by a racing game. Diverse my ass.

Oh, and GT3 sold to about 1 out of every 10 PS2 owners. I think the PS3 might need more than an over-rated racing game to get on top.

white devil; i didn't know GT3 was a pack in.

sianr, you can't use ratio of userbase to figure out the sales, GT5 i think will sell at least 6 million lifetime, max 10 million, probably 7-8 million.

And yes half of the people who are PLANNING to buy GT5 already have a PS3, [guessing you are one of them] because otherwise you seem to be expecting 1 million hardware sales in the first week, and 300k hardware the week after [or basically, increased hardware co-inciding exactly with the software sales]

remember i said "planning to buy", that doesn't mean that all 5mil current owners are getting GT5, [making 10mil game sales] it means probably 2 or so million current owners are planning to get GT5, with 2mil more planning to get it before/on/shortly after GT5s release, with the rest of the customers of the game just picking it up [ie they will buy it, but they dont know it yet]

 Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to imply that GT3 only sold because of bundles, it probably pushed 8 million or more before the pack-in pushed it over the edge. 



white devil,
And Halo3 is bundled in europe, so what is your point?
GT5 will make a lot of peopel buy ps3. I know many people, which said, that will buy ps3 only becaus eof this one game. And they are x360 fans.

HappySqurriel,
By the way, Haze, Heavy Rain, Wardevil were planing to be multiplatform, but then become ps3 only, and that happened less then half year ago. Your projected sales doesn`t matter.
Rockstar announced NEW IP only less then half a year ago, again, nothing to do with projected sales.

PS3 is just Better and will dominate. Deal with it.
