Why do people think GT5 will do it?
i personally don't know how much this game is popular in the US. is it still popular?

Well Gran Turismo 1, 3 and 4 reached 10 million so I guess it might happen but of course the install base is far from being the same.

I guess it might just be a possibility.

well think about it, Gamers are not the same. i have to say it but sadly gamers were a bit more open minded back then. now most only buy FPSs with online.

every other genre is taking alot of steps back, Racers are not popular and not much cared about as they did before. i really dont like how console gamers became online FPS obsessed like PC gamers did years ago when CounterStrike was popular i really hated those Counterstrike rage geeks that scream at the screen everytime they die thats one reason why i didn't like the PC community, now consoles gamers are the same , but what can you do? just live on with it, and stop whining.

Well I think it will reach 10 million because of bundles. It wouldn't stand a chance otherwise.



Modern Warfare 2 on 360 will make it eventually. It will be around 8 million by the end of this year, and from then on it only needs half the legs the original had to hit the mark.

If there was a MW3 this gen, I doubt it would make it. I think this is the series' peak, Activision has milked it too far (Treyarch CoD's are draining potential interest). Look how fast Guitar Hero declined.

Super Smash Bros Brawl is crawling there, thanks to sales picking up in Europe. It'll make it in time.

Super Mario 64 (DS) may make it eventually, surprisingly. It's still selling well, and it will end 2009 with over a million sold within the year, with 2mil to go.

The obvious 10mil's are Pokemon HG/SS, WSR, WF+, and NSMBW. They'll all hit it in 2010.

The only future 10mil I can see off HD consoles is GT5, and Halo Reach. It's hard to tell how high interest is for these titles, but I think both have a decent shot. All other future 10mil's will probably be new ideas from Nintendo, though it's hard to imagine what they'd be, since they haven't produced one for the DS in a long time (besides the new Pokemon).



Who's Holly 10M?

Is that the name of the newest model of pleasure droids?

Brawl, NSMB, WSR and Wii fit plus are sure bets. If you are talking single platform I doubt there are any HD games that can acheive this. Halo being the lone exception. GT5 I dont see selling like a Halo 3.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
