You really underestimate GT selling power and GT fanbase.
If MGS4 can sell 4-5 mln. on current PS3 userbase, then GT5 will definitely sell 10 mln.+ LTD.

Anyway, in about 7 weeks we will have FFXIII first week sales in Japan, which probably will indicate what GT5 can sell.

Look how GT's doing on the 50m+ PSP base.  The brand's not invincible, and PS3 isn't PS2...

woah dont bust the bank

1) PSP suffer from pirating, PS3 not.
2) Comparing both versions of GT a game, is like saying: "Because MH3 sold less than 1 mln. on a Wii, MH3G won`t sell 3 mln. on PSP."
GT has established userbase on home PS consoles, while MH on portable.
Anyway, soon you will see. 10 mln.+ for GT5 is inevitable.
By the way, PS3 userbase will be already around 35 mln. by the time of GT5 release and probably 45 mln. by the end of 2010.

You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.  10 million is a HUGE milestone, one that only one exclusive HD game (Halo 3) has managed, and neither Gran Turismo nor PlayStation seem to have the same sort of wide pull they used to.  Hell, GT4 barely passed 10m.

GT5:P has not the content of GT5. Thats why some people still havent bought a PS3 or GT5:P. Its a DEMO. Some of you may say its almost a full game because of the Content. No its not. Compared to GT5 Content its nothing 5-10% its just not comparable to GT5 in anyway. Just because it still is better then some of the Racing Games out there despite beeing a Demo its not anywhere near the real GT and people know that.

MGS3 sold less then 4 on a way way higher userbase. Gt4:P sold 1/4th or less of Gt5:P.

GT5 will be massive, atleast as successful as GT4 but maybe more.

And GT on PSP is the first handheld GT. It just cant deliver the GT Experience. GT Fans want GT on TV not on mini screen. They probably want it with a Wheel. And for sure they want NEXT GEN. And piracy is an issue. The Userbase of Handheld and Home Console is totaly different. And the Experiences which can be delievered too.


Some of you may underestimate the GT Power. But I dont care as long as I get the Game. The only thing what disturbes me is that GT5:P sold great and still the people point on GT5:P and say GT5 wont sell as good as the precedessors. Look how poorly GT5:P Sold.

What number would be good ? Should 75% of GT User Adapt a Demo which cost almost as a full game ? And buy a Console even if they are just interested in GT ? Yes there are people out there which play JUST GT.

To the discussion.

I predicted a while ago that the PS3 will outsell the WII in 2009 and probably reach 5 Million before Wii reaches 10 Million. And everything seems to happen this week the PS3 outsold the Wii. Due to Tekken 6 and Bayonetta. And the Wii could not catch up to 2008 years numbers after the Price Cut. For me it was not hard to see that the HD market in Japan is not as saturated as the SD market. Why should the japanese be the only market where the HD market is smaller then the SD market ? That makes no sense. The Xbox360 plays no role so the PS3 has still plenty of room to go up. The Wii will never even go above the 2008 mark world wide. I am really curios to the Japan PS3 numbers. Mainly because "some" told me that I have no clue its almost impossible that the PS3 will be stronger 2009 then the WII. And that the Japanese market is pretty easy to predict. It was like, Why I even dare to make such a stupid prediction.

My prediciton will hopefully come to true but atleast I admit that the Wii has still a chance to win.

It has a lot to do with GT's crazy legs. GT games usualy sell for about 5 years. Hell, GT4 just reached 10 million couple of months ago, and the game is over 5 years old. And GT5 will reach 10 million for sure, but not in 2010 or in 2011, somewhere in 2012 or 2013. And userbase doesnt really matter sometimes. MGS4 already outsold couple of its predcessors

well avinash you were wrong as PS3 outsold wii by 10K this week.

What do you see happening this holiday in Japan now?

LOL pwnage at its finest

But the Wii is a niche console!
