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.

Easily. I really think Sony is just waiting for PS3s install base to get up there before they release GT 5.

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

Depends how many GT players are now playing Forza 2 because the Playstation user base is obviously small compared to previous gens.

Even with FF XIII being multiplat it has NO CHANCE of beating GT 5 in worldwide sales.

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)

In a word: No. To elaborate, the PS3 doesn't have the install base and I don't think GT5 is a system seller, i'll be getting it but lots of people wouldn't and not that many people will be buying a PS3 for it.

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?

GT has outsold past Halo games if I'm not mistaken.

Only Halo 3 has outsold any of the GT games.

___gamemaster__
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 enjoyed

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.

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

Almost no chance. The only thing that could make it pass halo 3 sales is if it kept selling strong for quite some time. If it's still being picked up by people buying PS3s 2 years after it's release, ans in good numbers, then maybe. But that's a big if, and a big maybe. It's okay. I don't think it needs 10 million in sales for PD to be happy.

___gamemaster__

I think people are off when they say "prologue sold 3m, imagine what the full game will do!!!".

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).

I doubt it.

Only because Halo was advertised at places like Burger King. I don't see the hype getting to that point for GT5.

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 out

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..

There is always a possibility, install base has an effect but I think if Sony cuts the price of the PS3 and release GT5 at the same time they might have a shot to sell large quantities.

not 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.

No.... not unless the PS3 starts selling like mad.

GT as a serieshas so many sales because there were so many PS1's & PS2's in peoples homes.

I think GT5 will be a game that will sell well for quite a while after launch though..... we'll see I guess.
