Nah!!!! expect around 9m-12m and 14m max if it does really well.

WOW...you're expecting MW2 LTD numbers out of a PS3 exclusive? You definitely have some faith. I admire it, but I do not agree.

Well thanks for Netyaroze and Norlead for posting, you two easily gave the most informative logical and intelligent posts. I actually enjoyed reading what you posted.

Avinash_Tyagi you are the #1 reason this place needs a ignore button. Pathetic would be an understatement.

Just stop posting, you are adding nothing so please gtfo. Your reasoning is ignorant everyone sees it and they will never side with you. So seriously just stop being a troll and gtfo.

Why.

Most of the time the top selling games are exclusives, hell only GTA has ever been able to break that and possibly MW2 though i have reservations on it out doing Halo on 360.

^ROFL, I notice you didn't address a single point I made or give a single reason why you think my reasoning is ignorant.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

No.  20 million is virtually impossible, even thinking it could sell 15 million is just ridiculous.  7-8 million is what it most likely would sell imo.

Iam quoting you just so i can laugh at you in a few months.

7m lol


i'd say a range of 10-12m is likely.



XxXProphecyXxX on 18 November 2009

WOW....I dont know whos more delusional the OP or the ppl who think GT5 will just do a couple more millions better than GT5p which has sold 4m(including PSN dload)

@ Avinash

Your sig proves that you make bad predictions. Every prediction is pretty much false or almost impossible to happen.

Wii Fit never will outsell all GTAs combined they will release all the time new GTAs Wii Fit would have to sell massive amounts to catch up to GTA. To Catch GTA there needs to be 50 Million more sales.

Wii wont be anywhere near 80 Mio until years end to reach that it needs to sell 4 Million each week beginning now. Its almost impossible that WII wil outsell PS2 until 12/31/2010. Wii would have to sell every Week in 2010 1.3 Million Consoles thats impossible. Oh wait the Entire Playstaton Family until December 2015. Ok thats 135 Mio PS2 105 Mio PS1 26 Mio PS3 50 Mio PSP around 315 MIO WIIs LTD ? To reach that in 5 years or 260 weeks - around 60-65 Mio Wiis Wii would have to sell for the next five years every week 1 Mio Consoles.

Now you say PS3 will never reach 60 Mio despite the fact that every thing indicates the opposite. Sorry but compared to the 20 Mio GT5s your predictions are atleast 100times more insane. Your predictions are the most craziest predictions I ever heard in my entire life.

to reach 60 Mio until 12/31/2012 PS3 needs 10 Mio sales so even if nothing would change despite pricecuts more games more features it will reach 60 Mio 100%. And there is a chance for GT5 to reach in the next couple of years 20 Mio your predictions are completly impossible to come true.

GT5 has one of the best legs in the videogame world. GT5 prologue sold 6 times better then Gt4 prologue. GT3 was released on a much smaller userbase and still it managed to sell arond 15 Mio. GT4 is the second iteration of GT on the PS and it sells even today and probably will reach 11 Mio the next year(s).

The racing Market had always a lot of games but GT is special it has something no other racing game has. It will sell continously it wont be an explosion like MW2 was but if no other GT will be released on the PS3 then its possible not probable but possible that GT5 will reach 20 Mio. I guess it will sell in the range of GT4. 10-12 Mio. Fact is that the GT Brand seems to be stronger then while GT4 was released the the massive sales difference between the both Prologues indicate this. The attach ratio of 75% is just flawed logic nobody said it will sell it at once thats not the way GT sells.

I dont believe that it will sell 20 Mio but you act like there is no chance in hell that this numbers could be reached despite you are making extremly crazy predictions in your sig. Thats pretty similar to the way like you behaved as I made my prediction why the PS3 will reach 5 Mio before the Wii reaches 10.

I know the PS3 will beat the WII this year in Japan but I am atleast 100times more sure that PS3 will reach 60 Mio until 12/31/2012.

Avinash, this.

so gtfo.



Avinash_Tyagi on 18 November 2009

Ok, so you attack my predictions, so what, that doesn't change that PS3 won't hit 60 million, you can go look at its sales chart from launch its trend line just further shows that 60 million is unlikely, even with its current sales post slim it would take years, and if it starts to fall off, it wont reach it, because the gen will be over and its sales will drop off with the announcement and launch of the PS4
