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..Look at all the previous GT games apart from GT5p, what is the connection?
They were all on 2 of the most successful games consoles the industry has ever seen PS1 and PS2.
The PS3 is nowhere near as successful and that has been reflected by the sales for GT5p.
Add to that, there was no really competitor on consoles to previous GT titles until Forza 1 came along.
Many of the mainstream gamers have also migrated from the PS2 to the 360.
the ps3 is following the ps2's footsteps in sales wise, the ps2 didnt sell like hotcakes off the bat, it took a while. like they recently said, the system is only in its 3rd year.
