kareem_nasser wrotePrecise timing too. PS3 sales are increasing and they are catching up with the X360 so larger install base=more GT5 sales, not to forget combating piracy by embedding version 3.50 in the retail game. But do you think it will reach the 11 million mark like its predecessor GT4?
I read somewhere regarding PS3 sales being very close to the 360, 43m PS3 units vs around 44.5m for the Xbox360, something is certain for sure, GT5 will boost the PS3 sales big time, exactly how MGS4 increased PS3 sales when it released 2 years ago.
Many people would buy a console only because of GT5, yes Gran Turismo is that huge... eventually PS3 sales will surpass the 360, probably at the 1st quarter of 2011..
GT5 would definitely sell more than GT4, they're aiming towards 14-16 Million copies, but it'll take probably 4 years to reach that number worldwide,
After all Japan and Europe are the biggest market for this game followed by NA..
