What do you think? im surprised GT5P has sold 3M even though this game should've been a just a free demo like the ones we download on PSN. Imagine GT5 a full game with added features and improved game.

no no no and no, gran turismo games are made for a very specific type of gamer, and that group of gamers is outnumbered by the group of gamers who would like halo 3, the only game that has a chance is final fantasy 13, and i really hope that it does outsell halo 3 by a huge amount
FF13 is multiplat.no no no and no, gran turismo games are made for a very specific type of gamer, and that group of gamers is outnumbered by the group of gamers who would like halo 3, the only game that has a chance is final fantasy 13, and i really hope that it does outsell halo 3 by a huge amount

How many copies of Halo 3 have been sold?chathurangaClose to 10 million.
[QUOTE="jakarai"][QUOTE="Wii_Gamer_277"]2 people on SW really think yes ? anyways GT will not outsell halo 3....no exclusive game this generation will outsell halo 3Wii_Gamer_277Considering sales of past GT games you don't think it's logically? Compare halo 1, 2 and 3 sales with GT games and you will see that they wont outsell halo 3, Plus halo 3 has a casual appeal GT dosent. And MS advetises there games a hell of a lot better then sony, so I wouldnt be surprised if Halo: ODST outsells GT5 this holiday (if GT5 is coming out this holiday)
really? last time i check every GT series except prolouge has sold 9M plus. while halo 3 being the highest sold copy 9.85 M.

The Sony fanbase has shrunk though.Compare halo 1, 2 and 3 sales with GT games and you will see that they wont outsell halo 3, Plus halo 3 has a casual appeal GT dosent.

The Sony fanbase has shrunk though.Thats true, I only had a PS2 last gen, money issues only let me have a 360. Also, Halo 3 is at thirteen million sold or something, isn't it?I don't think that the userbase has anything to do with it. it has everything to do with Forza 2 is out, and GT5 is stil not out yet...Depends how many GT players are now playing Forza 2 because the Playstation user base is obviously small compared to previous gens.

GT has outsold past Halo games if I'm not mistaken.no no no and no, gran turismo games are made for a very specific type of gamer, and that group of gamers is outnumbered by the group of gamers who would like halo 3, the only game that has a chance is final fantasy 13, and i really hope that it does outsell halo 3 by a huge amount

Only Halo 3 has outsold any of the GT games.
no. few reasons, 1. some of those 3 million with be pissed that they paid 40 bucks for a demo. 2. some people might go to the store and see both games side by side and pick the 20 dollar gt5p and say its not worth 40 more bucks for a few more tracks and cars. 3. the last few gt`s havent been all that great. so its been there done that but with better graphics. 4. even more people will be buying halo 3 when its price is lowered, and as more people buy new 360`s. 5. gt5 wont have them huge install bases to suck up the sales like past GTs enjoyedWhat do you think? im surprised GT5P has sold 3M even though this game should've been a just a free demo like the ones we download on PSN.

I think that game is the reason it wont. I hear something about a dlc for the people who have bought the prologue to add on to make GT5? Is that correct? If the DLC is included with sales of regular GT5 then yes.What do you think? im surprised GT5P has sold 3M even though this game should've been a just a free demo like the ones we download on PSN.

Obviously, so aside from the hardcore GT fans the 360 was capable of quenching everyone else's thirst for a AAA racer. Those same fans will probably be buying Forza 3, and not GT5 as they own 360's now.
GT3 sold over 15 million, so GT5 has a good chance
It will depend on how large the PS3 userbase is though

I think people are off when they say "prologue sold 3m, imagine what the full game will do!!!".What do you think? im surprised GT5P has sold 3M even though this game should've been a just a free demo like the ones we download on PSN. Imagine GT5 a full game with added features and improved game.
___gamemaster__
I think the full game will be about a little more than the prologue, due to the increase in install base since then. But for the most part, prologue is an indicator of how the full game will sell (and likely why Sony released it in the first place; to test intrest).

GT4 had a prologue and it sold only about 1 million. The full game sold over 9 million. Prologue sales aren't an indication of what the full game will sell. And there are a lot more factors to consider than that. Mainly how the full game will turn outdo us a favor. post install base by each game. to help us think better[QUOTE="guardofdead"]

what? why... the recent install bases would have nothing to do with these number because the were not the same back in 1998 when gran turismo and halo launched........ im sure your going to reply back " it sold over time duh" but thats expected..

Right.. The install base of the PS2 when GT3 launched was around 20 million and it sold 15 around million The install base when GT4 launched was around 100 million, and it sold about 9 million. It doesn't all have to do with install base..[QUOTE="guardofdead"]

It doesn't all have to do with install base.. ok then.because gt3 sucked so bad gt4 lost about 5 million buyers with a extra 80 million users to pick it up. im going out on a limb here and say gt5 wont even out sell halo ODSTnot sure whether it will surpass Halo3 in terms of sales but I think its a game which most probably will hit the 5.5 - 6 million mark... by the time GT5 will be released i strongly believe Sony will have announced already a major price-cut which would boost sales and bring new gamers / old GT fans who'll probably get the game once released.. A GT5 bundle might also push further sales for both console & game..
i know it wont probably happen but imagine the sales boostshould next yearSONY release a mega Ps3 bundle at $319.00 which includes HDMI cables, GOW3 & GT5.. (which also has BC)...
Whats with all these "Will x game surpass halo 3 sales" For one thing 9 million is a record? :| Athough Halo 3 was fast selling and another Halo is an fps and GT5 is racing. Really is it all sales people care about.
