Oh come on don't use the ''pirated system'' excuse again. The DS is much easier to pirate and is the #1 SW seller.

GT PSP won't reach any GTA PSP type of numbers and people still think it will sell 10 million on PS3, what a joke.

It's not an excuse, it is logic.

Plus piracy isn't the only factor to take into consideration. DD sales also. When PD release figures themselves, THEN we will know the real opening week.

Red- GT games have legs, really good legs. Include the DD sales and it could surpass VC Stories and come close to LC Stories.

As for GT5, as i mentioned before...  PSP games don't sell like console games.  That is why GTA on PSP only sold 3.5/5.6 Million, compared to on PS2 where the games sold 10M +

Good point Carl

GTprologue sold 4 million plus on ps3, so that pretty much says that when GT5 gets here (billion dollar IP) it is going to sell gangbusters (10 million is no problem).  I notice you are very negative towards anything sony related, why oh why do you post if this is all you can contribute to conversations?  Why don't you wait tell there is something you would like to talk about positively, then most people would actually start to 'respect' you again.  This site does not track downloads, how do you know it did not do 750,000 first week including downloads? 


lol like if I care about the ''respect'' of some unknown internet user like yourself. GTAIV PS3 is very far away of the 10 million mark so what make you think GT5 will do better?

Oh but maybe you want me to repeat for the hundredth time how good GT:PSP did like a blinded PS3 fan? (when we all know this is no good numbers at all) If not, then you have to accept my point of view on that matter, even if it doesnt fit with yours.

You do realise that GTA4 is multiplat?

Ok, but why using this excuse with the PSP but not with the DS???

And the matter is that GTA is > than GT as a franchise. So don't expect GT5 to do 1.5-2 times the sales of GTAIV PS3.

This is logic.

And how many times do we need to get it into your biased skull... GTA4 = Multiplat. If it was exclusive it would be sat at around 10 Million by now.

My point? I didnt say GTA:CW did great numbers or that it will sell ''insert unrealist expectations'' numbers.

So there is an extra insentive to buy it on the much cheaper 360... Which also has extra content and a massive lead in GTA main territory, NA.

If the game was timed exclusive/exclusive it would be at ~8 Million/10 Million by now.

Carl, you didnt explain me why people doesnt use the piracy to explain DS numbers while some people like you use this ''logic'' for the PSP.

And why would it suddenly sell crazy numbers if the game is exclusive?

You can call me biased like you want, I don't feel more biased than you.

In your opinion, which judging by your many, many  'weak' arguments is just more frivolous conjecture.

According to the chartz not one game for GT has sold less than 10 million units with the exception being the prologues (ps2 and ps3), but ofcourse they are not full games.  So the highlighted arguement has pretty much been disproven.
