Sorry to break it to you early, but you cannot escape from the A-Bomb that is Gran Turismo 5. It's going to be the "Starcraft 2" for the consoles. People will sell their houses for this game. My advice to people who own the 360 only (The Wii will not get affected as much), it's time to face it. When Gran Turismo 5 comes out, Microsoft will just give up. They are smart people. They know they cannot compete with a game as huge as Gran Turismo 5. Turn 10 is going to shut down the day it comes out and go work for Polyphony Digital. The end is coming, and it starts, next Christmas. :twisted:

Agreed. When Gran Turismo actually comes out then it will be the end of the world as we know it.

If Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3 didn't end the world, I honestly doubt Gran Turismo 5 is capable of understanding what it means to do that.

Only for people who like Gran Turismo. I, for one, can't stand racing games. Good luck to it beating Halo 3's sales, if MGS4 couldn't then I doubt GT5 will. And this is coming from someone who strongly dislikes Halo.

Hmm..and yet I prefer Forza to GT. No offense but it's a matter of opinion. Yes GT5 will sell well, but I'll hardly be selling anything to play it.

The only thing wrong with racing games is they get really boring. :( I only played through 20% of Gran Turismo 4 before I quit out of boredom, and I don't miss the game.

Forza is going to be an after thought, a shadow. Gran Turismo 5 is going to make Forza 3 fans stop in their tracks. Riots will appear at Turn 10 with angry Forza fans spouting their rage, as to why Gran Turismo 5 is better in almost every possible way.

3 games?? Turn 10 is trying desperatly to catch up, but their efforts are futile. What is one thing that Gran Turismo has that Forza doesn't that gives them an instant win? Can anyone guess?

Exactly the point. If Halo 3 (the game that thousands of people stood out in line for) couldn't end the PS3 or Wii, then Gran Turismo 5 surely can't do the same against the 360 or Wii.

Halo 3 has more fans than the GT series...

Unless you managed to get your hands on some reliable worldwide sales data, no, it didn't.

It will probably be too little too late. Gran Turismo came out with the PS and Gran Turismo 3 came out with the PS2. Gran Turismo 5 is coming near the end of the main life of the PS3. It will still probably sell more than any other racing game... but it will still be behind the times with its outdated formula that seems to permeate the Japanese gaming industry (that is, once you find something that works, you never change it no matter how far other games come).

I personally am looking more forward to Race Pro in January and Forza 3 sometime later in 2009.

I take it this is a joke topic? Dosn't really do anything for me. But if you seriously belive this then I suggest you look at past sales for MGS 4 or any other PS3 exclusive. This game will not shift consoles all that much.

There are only 3 Halo games. There are 4 main GT titles, and about 8 "demo" titles. I don't really see it being that huge a seller, now that the PS3 is nowhere near the popularity of the PS2.

GT3+GT4 sales = 1 generation. Those combined sales are more than the whole Halo series combined. :|

Don't you mean SHIPPED? And by the way, prove it.

Here is the link to prove that Halo series sold more than GT 3 and 4, and in before you say that it's Wiki and not relevant, all figures for Gran Turismo games are backed up by sources:

Sorry to break it to you early, but you cannot escape from the A-Bomb that is Gran Turismo 5. It's going to be the "Starcraft 2" for the consoles. People will sell their houses for this game. My advice to people who own the 360 only (The Wii will not get affected as much), it's time to face it. When Gran Turismo 5 comes out, Microsoft will just give up. They are smart people. They know they cannot compete with a game as huge as Gran Turismo 5. Turn 10 is going to shut down the day it comes out and go work for Polyphony Digital. The end is coming, and it starts, next Christmas. :twisted:

LOL too bad you get your big racing sim 3-4 years into your console life cycle. Forza 2's been out forever with Forza 3 already on the horizon. Yet another thread to enforce "just wait...". :)
