Forums - Gaming - How much of a system seller is Gran Turismo?

wyvers on 29 October 2009

it will be a software sales monster and will move hw, but not as much as many here think.
too many small system sellers released in the time they took to release gt5, which ate away from possible gt5 hw.

All the big GT fans already bought a PS3 to play prologue.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

It's hard to say, as PS3 has far more competition than the PS2 ever had. And so does Gran turismo (Forza 3). Xbox360 is big in america, and forza is big in america, i think this will take away from it's sales in that country, so i expect GT5 to be the lowest selling GT game (not including GTPSP which is a flop). I am thinking it will get 7-10mil by the end of the PS3's life.

EDIT: Got abit sidetracked there, just saw the topic was about will it be a system seller.  To this i say yes, it won't have the splash that FF13 will have in japan, but it will sell system's.  It gives people another great reason to own a PS3, and it will be a massive game i have no doubts about that.

More than Xbox/Wii fanboys expect it to be.

Less than Sony fanboys expect it to be.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

GT PSP didn't move much hardware do to its abnormal reviews but GT5 will definitely move some hardware I expect 400k in PS3 hardware in the week of the release.

On a serious note, "All the fans already bought the console for this game" ends up being proven wrong time after time on all consoles.

It'll be interesting to find out. In the past, GT was the only game in town when it came to realistic graphics, cars, and physics. Nowadays, even though I'm sure it's still the premier racing series (sorry Forza), competition is much more fierce. We'll see.

Considering Uncharted 2... A reletively unknown franchise with the 1st game already on PS3, increased hardware Worldwide by 20%.

What percentage of increase in sales of the PS3 is due to Uncharted 2, and how much is due to the price cut?

The week before Uncharted 2 released, PS3 hardware was at 212,996.

The week of Uncharted 2, PS3 hardware was at 252,880.

I think it's pretty safe to say what cause the increase in sales.

You are wrong CARL, The PS3 had $3 price drop on Amazon that week, you troll.

Ok, that explained it.  It struck me as weird how Uncharted 2 would be the cause of this happening.

Oh my. I hope you aren't being serious ¬_¬

I know people who hate racing games, but they love Gran Turismo. It's just that epic. I also know few guys that are holding up for it's release, they are waiting for it's release since the beginning of this generation. Half of them almost given up on it ever comming out. Gran Turismo will be without any doubts the best selling title on PS3 this gen and it will also move hardware significantly. I might also buy it in bundle by that time (need a new PS3 for a new flat).



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
