They are just making fun of Sony for taking forever to launch GT5.

Can not wait to see the PR after GT5 out sells Forza 3, 3:1

They really have no idea how big Gran Turismo 5 will be, do they?
Lets take a look at Forza 2 and Gran Turismo 5 prologue, according to VGChartz numbers, Forza 2 sold 4M, and GT5:P Sold 3.15M, keep in mind GT5:P Isn't even a full game.
SO people have called GT5:P a "demo", for a "demo" it nearly outsold a full finished game.. There is a sign right there.
Whatever though, let them continue to live in happy village and mask up the reality, be my guest.

Personally I don't think PS3 fans have tooo much to worry about. There have been a lot of quality 3rd party racing games released on the PS3 over the last two years thought I guess waiting so damn long for a proper GT game must be frustrating.

they are just trying to hype forza, they can't match quality of polyphony studio.
sending forza head to head with GT would be like trying to send any FPS at modern warfare.

Keep in mind GT5P was able to be DL'ed and F2 bundles > GT5p bundles. I'd say copies bought GT5p > F2 and I'd say GT5P was more profitable with. Even with selling it for less.

Forza 2 I'll be generous and say 3 million weren't bundled. It didn't even reach 2 million before bundled.

3 x 30 = 90 million.

Now I'd say 500k tops bundled for GT5p and again... generous firgure considering it was bundled in Japan for like 2 months which makes up like 250k and we know Europes policy is lots of bundles little of each. 250k bundles in EU is a lot. Hell, I'll raise it to 750k.

Polyphony says 3.90 GT5p's sold - .75 = 3.15 x 20 = 63 + .75x10 (Cut out the retailer = more profits for sony) = 70 million... 70 million for a game that was basically free to make.

I think what they mean is it's the only racing game shipping on 2 disks. ;)
