Everyone seems to forget the real powerseller.

The Gran Turismo Series. Gran Turismo 2 sold 8 million, Gran Turismo 3 sold 14 million and Gran Turismo 4 sold 9 Million

Enough with the comparisons of which game will sell the most. Its obvious Gran Turismo sells the most.

PS1 and PS2 had much more market share lead when the previous installations of Gran Turismo were out. Now PS3 is in 3rd with only half (or just less than) the user base of Xbox 360. Past sales will not be a factor here.

Isn't it more than half? I thought the figures were along the lines of 17 millionish for the 360 and 10 millionish for the PS3?

I might be wrong but thats what I thought.

I Don't think GranTturismo has the Power of Final Fantasy Or metal gear solid but still many people will make the jump form ps2 to Ps3 just for that game it has a huuuuuge fanbase.

Meh that's nothing, with just over 10 million units sold, Halo 3 had sold over 1.5 million units before it was even released, I don't think any game will top that anytime soon. New GT titles didnt sell nearly as well either.

I might have miscalculated in my head, and recalling that PS3 was at around 9 MIL. Of course all these being estimated sales. Still the bottom line remains unaffected. PS3's smaller user base to its current gen competition, and to its predecessors, means we should NOT expect the same sales of GT5 to GT4 or GT3.

The only MGS game that sold amazingly well is MGS2... MGS, and MGS3 not so much. Not bad at all, but nothing compared to your other big sellers.

Ooh, good point, but flawed. GT is (pardon the pun) a cash cow for Sony and will be Sony's biggest seller since GTA has gone multiplat, but with the Playstation still in 3rd, I don't see GT selling more than 8 million unless they push 50 million PS3s.

We can all agree that the following franchises sell big, however: GTA, Halo, Brawl, GT, Sims, WoW, Madden and Mario. GTA is the top dog at the moment.

World wide, the ps3 has more than half the 360's users. Rayinmrod is right.

I wonder what the "market share" or "user base" is gonna look like after prologue is released in europe... and the US. I wonder what it's gonna look like in december after GT 5 is released... if it's released in November/December.

Call of Duty 5 is gonna suck so much... so will fallout 3.

It has a big fanbase but every PS3 owner would have to buy it to reach those numbers.

Correction: we should NOT expect the same sales of GT5 to GT4 or GT3 YET.

Even months or years after games are released they generate sales. The number of PS3 users is only increasing, and as they purchase the console they may well purchase the game too.
