GT5 Could Be The Highest Selling And Highest Rated Game In The Franchise

If we go by patterns:

According to gamerankings, the first iteration of every gen is always higher rated, than the second iteration that gen.

Also, another trend to look at is the sales. The first GT installment of every generation, always ends up being the highest selling game of the franchise. GT3 sold 15 million, and launched with a 10 million PS2 userbase (and it only had like 3 years to sell all those copies because GT4 was already out by then).

This time, it gets to launch with prolly around a 30M userbase (PS3 will be around 30M after black friday, and the holiday rush).

I dont even need to go into the 4 million that the DEMO sold, outselling forza 2 (and it came out a year later, on a console with a smaller install base, and lower software attache rate:lol:....but thats for another thread:|)

GT5 is looking to be the best game in the franchise, and it has MORE than double the content of its competition, twice as many cars and tracks, with more detail put into each one, more gameplay modes, better graphics, better driving gameplay, and everything forza 3 will have, and more. This game is shaping up to be the best the franchise has ever seen, and it has some of the most momentum for a game ever.

And before you say "salez dont mattar 1ulz", Then halo sales dont matter, because GT1 and GT3 are both higher than halo 3 at gamerankings, and every GT game has sold better than every halo game.

GT5 should sell 8-12 million. But 25+ million compared to wiifit and 98% gameranking score? Lol

you dont need to bring up the demo? yet then go ahead and do?
Seems to be your entire argument is centering around that...

I doubt the ps3 will sell like 5-6 millions till black Friday :/Giancar

Wrong, There are less tracks then forza, the cars are of less polygons, LESS gameplay modes( if you ask I'll prove) Forza 1 was known to have better gameplay than 4, gt5P handling was worse than forza 2, Turn 10 puts bigger focus on physics, And Gt will be missing out on almost all of the online features of Forza, which make the game so good.

We have seen nothing making use of the 16 cars, sience online is unplayable, and the A.I is dumb. PLUS they are all started strun out, single file, away from eachother, which defeats the pourpose.

other than graphics, everything else we have seen of gt5 is nothing to brag about. Damage that isn't very good, on less than a quarter of the cars, I shouldn't even need to mention the A.I. It's laughable how some of the fans of GT are.

So good job, you just made your own thread into another GT vs. Forza.

It could be the opposite. Not to mention the PS3 is worse at selling software than any of the other consoles.

I came in here expecting a link, but all i got was weaksauce:(

Patterns are meaningless.

i dont know exactly what it is but forza is just more fun to play,

plus theres no stupid liscens tests in forza

who cares abt your mthfckr forza 3,i wont buy tht crap.gt all the way

I love the GT series and I feel that may be pushing it a bit... We will see I suppose.

No.

I've been a GT fanboy since day one but I've had enough of Polyphony's ****. I fully expect it to out-sell Forza 3, but will it out-score it? If the stuff about only certain cars having damage, and not all cars having cockpit views is true, then I very much doubt it.

An obvious bias telling of a very unlikely future based on observations and patterns is really not going to be taken seriously.

That's how I look at it. GT1 and GT3 were amazing.

To support the TC, look at the GR ratings below:

Playstation:

• Gran Turismo: 94.71%
• Gran Turismo 2: 92.52%
  

Playstation 2:

• Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec: 94.29%
• Gran Turismo 4: 89.19%
• Gran Turismo Concept 2001 Tokyo: 75.59%

Playstation 3:

• Gran Turismo 5: 92:57%(Projected rank)

Other:

• GT5 Prologue: 79.84%
• GT4 Prologue: 68.83%
• GT PSP: 79.56%

I can't disagree with you, GT5 will surpass all previous installments and CRUSH Forza 3. :twisted:

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"]That's how I look at it. GT1 and GT3 were amazing.foxhound_fox

lol, you seriously have to consider the fact that GT5's sales will be extremely limited by the PS3s install base. This isnt the PS2 here, nor is this last gen when there wasnt much competition in the racing genre because Forza was Xbox only, and that install base was really small. Just a thought, but i expect cows to ignore itnavyguy21

Not according to the critics. According to the scores, GT1 and GT3 were better games. GT2 and GT4 were just re-hashes with more content.

Both GT1 and GT3 brought something fresh to the table, GT4 and GT2 didn't. GT5 will be the first GT to have online (GT5P doesn't count, sorry), cockpit view, new menu system, custom soundtracks, damage, YouTube replay output and possibly 3D.

wrong GT5 and forza 3 uses the same amount of polys....250,000-300,000 said by PD....the lighting in GT5 makes puts the above forza 3 in terms of graphics....the lighting is amazing in GT5

"No one game has ever captured the broad essence of driving cars that hail from all walks of auto-racing life like Gran Turismo 3 does, and certainly no one game has ever offered the depth contained within this ambitious game." - GameSpot

"Your PlayStation 2 library would be incomplete without this game." - GameSpot

No, many critics agree that GT3 was ahead of it's time. There was no sim around that could even come close. It deserved it's score (9.4/10).

GT5 is going to sell more copies though. 8-12 million anyone who says otherwise is insane.

Well we can't. It's all speculation until they are released.

You guys will be surprised when GT5 comes out. This and Uncharted 2 will add two more AAAEs under the PS3's belt.
