Of course, some online lovers are also on PS3 !

but IMO

a part of the PS2 ancient owners are now on Wii or 360
GT is a mass market racing game that was selling to a wide crowd

I m expecting it to hit +5M easly and perhaps 10M
but I doubt it will reach the 13-15M because some users are just not on the PS3 boat

It is not about bad sales, it is about 10M vs 15M

 

I really don't see GT fans on wii, and Froza3s lack of sales have shows that MS faield to bring them into their fold.  They are waiting for GT5, these mass market people have yet to buy a PS3.  Wanna know when they will, when GT5 comes out.  Alot of people on the car forums iam on are waiting for GT5 to buy a PS3, prologue was not enough.  These are usualy casual gamers that go nut case hardcore when playing GT.

I think it will do record numebrs based on quality, 10million well yahh its GT but above that it needs to be something special.  GT3 was that it was the first Gt and those pretty PS2 graphics ahh man that was something special right there.  HD gaphics better physics real damage real wrc.... ahh man......

GT is the reason to be on that boat.

again , I just want to be wrong  :))

hum, pretty interesting but it is hard for me to evaluate how many they represent on the total sales ... we will see

Again...Forza 3 the most over hyped game of the year?

It may not be the most hyped game of the year but IMO it is one of the most hyped sim for even Inside Sim Racing gave it high scores. They did comment it had it's flaws yet didn't tell exactly what they were . Well I finally  played FM3 to realized one of those flaws was it's braking physics. Without any assist on,  cars brake as if it still had ABS brakes. IMO this seriously hurt the game as being a sim as all the cars brake pretty much the same as if all cars had the same weight. If you slam on the brakes in the corner it goes straight just the same as slam on brakes down the straightaway. Also You have way too much grip when you hit the dirt.

So as far as a sim I still think GT5P is  a lot better than Forza 3 even though GT5P has it's flaws which needed to be worked out, hopely for Gt5. (in GT5P I can feel the weight of Ford Gt500, especially when braking,  than I can in FM3) Yet as far as a game FM3 clearly wins over GT5P.

if selnor see this, he will kill you ...

GT5 is gonna sell like CRAZY! its the first GT on ps3 and trust me guys, ps3 onwers are HUNGRY for the king of racing games!! to answer the thread question, simple and accurate, nope! it wont even get close.

Correction. Europeans and European PS3 owners are hungry. The sales will mainly eminate from that region. I remember the days when Europe and America were both hungry from theh game, but we barely could give a damn about racers anymore.

Way to speak for an entire nation.

Look at the sales then get back for me.

Maybe it's just because there haven't been any great racing games this gen yet? Until March, I mean

Europe is a nation now? :P Just messing with you, I understand what are you saying.

What people outside europe doesn't understand is the appeal of certain games have in the "old continent", it's not unusual for an american to be somewhat ill informed of the global parameters of Europe.
Yes, it's true that most people in here are waiting for GT5 release, yet, the same can be said for most PS3 gamers in NA as well.

What I don't get is this, why does a game, which did 10M+ in almost all of it's iterations, and even did 15M+ on the PS2, on the early years of the PS2, when it still didn't had those monstrous sales numbers, can't do as well on the PS3?
Are you trying too hard to see ways for GT5 to fail? True, it can fail, as any game can, but it will be very difficult for that scenario to happen. GT5 has the same appeal and expectation that GT3 had, so it can just as well fail or sell on par as GT3 did.

If prologue did amazing on ps3, then the full game will sell 10 mil+

GT5 will sell atleast 10M+ LTD.
There is a chance for 15M+, but slim.

Forza 3 won`t outsell GT5P, which is already at 4M+ with PSN downloads, unless Forza 3 will be heavily bundled, like Forza 2.

But this is normal, because GT is PS3 Halo.
Killzone 2 also will have hard time outselling Halo:ODST if it`s even possible.

The end.

@ps3-sales

You're absolutely right, and to prove my entire point, i'll leave just this tiny tidbit of information that people didn't even bother to research

GT4:p sales - 1,36 M on a an almost 60M console by the release of GT4:p
GT5:p sales - 3.22 M on a barely 12M console by the release of GT5:p

So not only GT5:p sold almost triple the amount of GT4:p, counting only physical format, it also did it on a 1/5 of the install base at the release time of both games. What does that tell you people?

Yeah....right. Forza 3 and Need for Speed are amazing. Both games got 9 out of 10's. As I said before...Europe has chosen their #1 racer that they are even willing to buy a console just to play. Forza 3 didn't boost console sales, but GT5 will. Why? Because Forza would have to depend on Europe. Europe is where the majority of Forza 3 sales reside. They are definitely not going to carry that game over GT though. GT isn't going to sell OMG amazing, but it will sell very well.

Realistically F3 probably won't surpass GT5:P unless it has some pretty massive bundling.

No matter how amazing F3 gets it will never come even close to selling GT sales.
