Gran Turismo 5 Will be a big sales failure.. Thats my prediction

I know a lot of people are saying this game will sell ATLEAST 5 million copies and could even rival Halo Reach.. While Gran Turismo 5 USE to be a big seller i just dont see this game having that many sales at all.. I just dont know what it is, but PS3 gamers just dont buy games.. Even Assasins Creed 2 which was marketed by sony as being a exclusive sold double the amount of copies on the 360.

It took a great critically acclaimed game like Infamous to sell just 1.2 million copies in 9 months.. Killzone 2 didnt even sell 500,000 units the month it came out, heck MGS4 did alright but it was like pulling teeth for that game to even sell. Also look at Forza 3, that game barely broke a million consoles. The fact remains is GT5 has been delayed way to much and there are just way to many other racing and driving games out now.

My prediction is GT5 will be a huge sales failure, i think it MIGHT sell 2 million copies worldwide when its all said done.. And as far as this game being a "system seller" i definatley dont see that happening, now a days sim racers arent system sellers..

This is coming from a person who was a cow yesterday, then quit gaming then turned into a lem....

Uhh, didn't GT5P sell like 3M? Yea...

Gran Turismo 5 sales will no doubt be huge. But anyone thinking it's going to sell 10 million+ or something is crazy. Someone show them the way to the hosital, quick! :?

Prologue did more than that :lol: Gran Turismo is gigantic, it'll sell that much in 1 day.

Yea but GT is a much MUCH more established franchise than Motor Storm. Every GT has sold like crazy and so will GT5. Get your head out of the ground Lem.

lol, No way. Maybe in a month, if it's relatively lucky.

People usually call me a lem and even I know that GT 5 will outsell Forza 3

Gran turismo never really had any true compatition before hand did it. Now we have loads of racing games out and to the general mass public FORZA3 has got everything they want. To predict GT5 will be a sales bohemoth is a bit stupid. I think it will do well but I would not be supprised if it failed to live up to expectations of the game and its size of popularity as well.

I don't think it will be a sales failer at all. Even if it sells the same amount as GT5P it will be a success.

You're other point about PS3 owners not buying games is true though. I cannot believe Uncharted 2 hasn't broken 2 million yet. I'd like to know what everyone actually plays besides MW2

This right here. When a game bearing the name sells 3M, but isn't even a fully featured, ultra hyped game like GT5 then... yeah.

I'll just say this again: 2 million in a month, if it's quite lucky.

Tell me this a few weeks after GT5 is released (lets say it gets a 9.5 like F3) when the cows go "omg teh gt5 is bttr then f3 cuz it slls more!!111"

As can be seen for those Sony loyalist here, sure GT was big but many with a level head know FM2 & now, FORZA 3 has all but shattered those Sony driver dreams. Seems unless somethin done way out of they're ordinary GT games, Cows are lookin for win but may need to settle for for a Floppy. :P

Prologue Sold 3 Million...and it wasn't even 5% of what GT5 will be. I expect GT5 to sell 10 million worldwide easily.KukicAdo

Whatever in your Lemming's wildest fantasies is making you think Gran Turismo 5 is a locked flop, is setting you up for big ownage, man. :P

Prologue's sales speak for itself.

Just see it as it is. Halo sells, Mario sells, and Gran Turismo sells.

Itsthe Big 3's biggest sellers.

We (the 15 million gamers whowill buyGT5) beleive you............amen.

It will sell probably in 4-5 million range, but that's it, very well in current gen standards, but nowhere near such giants as Halo 3, not to mention Gran Turismo own predecessors last two generations. And its premiere won't be an earthquake either.

GT Prologue has already sold 4 million, so that alone already disproves your prediction.

didnt GTP reach 3 million? if so then yeah i think GT5 have a chance to win well

Gran Turismo 4 was the last real GT game on a less capable machine, released the same year as Forza 1.

This is coming from a person who was a cow yesterday, then quit gaming then turned into a lem....

Yankees718

I dont see why people would buy the game brand new when you could just wait a couple of months or a year for the price to go way down becuz I dont much difference in the graphics between this and gran turismo 3. Its a little better but not that much.

I do think the game will sell well but only when it drops in price. I would buy it when it drops to say $30

Be more then happy to take it all back should GT5 launch this year and make all go ..... GTFO, this easily the best by X10 of any & all drivers offered this gen. Short of that ummm....

You should never doubt the popularity of Gran Turismo.

[QUOTE="raskullibur"]

[QUOTE="SecretPolice"]Take your fan of any system out and ask yourself: TURN 10 with Forza 1 last gen made a case, Forza 2 and now, T10 just umm, anyway look at FM3 just rammed that mo fo point home and, and ... wait....

GT5 will sell at least 6 mill when its done

GT5P only sold like 3m copies. :/Mr_Splosher

that number is actually 4.17 million, i believe PD released the figures a while ago

GT5P only sold like 3m copies. :/Mr_Splosher

Gran turismo has a good history in sales. all selling around in 10 million mark.

My prediction it will sell atleast 5million.

You must be viewing this from American eyes :P But Gran Turismo is a worldwide hit and will sell millions in Europe alone. Your statement that PS3 gamers don't buy games made me giggle a bit.

sure it will flop in sales only if the entire european populations goes extinct.

it is going to do very well, definitely the most purchased game for the PS3, and I do think it will top 7-8 million when its all said and done.
