Will it be the best game ever sold, will it outsell black ops, will it outsell mario kart. Will it become the best selling game/franchise in the world.
I think it may just outsell CoD. Slim chance,but it might. I doubt it would outsell Mariokart, and I'm sure it won't become the best selling franchise (several other franchises,like Mario, have too large a head-start). I'm fairly surely it will be the best selling GT though.

GT5P sold 5 million so GT5 will sell more than 5 million copies. But GT5 has more content, features than any other game and the gfx are photo-realistic
GT5 doesn't need to sell more then Black Ops in order to be good. No game can possibly be expected to sell that well, it is just completely unheard of. GT5 will sell at least 5 million copies and honestly that is good enough. That would make it a huge success. Hell, over 2 million would make it a huge success. A console exclusive selling over a million copies is not as common as people think. It took forever for games like Uncharted 2 to sell a million copies.
Yeah no one in their right mind would base a game's quality purely on sales. Farmville has more players than any other game in the world, just because it's on Facebook... and it's terrible.
Yeah, as much as I hate to say it, I really doubt GT5 outselling Black Ops, even just on PS3. Gran Turismo's more of a mature, simulation type game, and doesn't appeal nearly as much to the teenage kids whose wishlists largely determine Christmas sales.

I don't know about that. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue sold over 4.5 million copies. They couldn't have been all mature car enthusiasts. Hell, when I was in high school I played the crap out of Gran Turismo 3 and I was one of those kids who played every first person shooter I could get my hands on. People of all ages love cars, and I think that appeal will still attract all ages groups to the game.

It's not going to out sell a CoD game, those are a completely different market. They're on multiple systems, almost everybody likes them, and they're EASY to play. That combination makes it a best seller by far.
GT5 will do very well, and turn a huge profit, but not CoD levels of sales.

I don't see how people aren't tired of Call of Duty games by now. They haven't really evolved at all over time and come across as bland first-person shooters to me. I've been a fan of the fps genre ever since Goldeneye on N64, but the Call of Duty franchise is just a cash cow for Activision and their aim is not innovation. It's the same tired formula being released year after year. Short campaign with cheap thrills multiplayer. People will keep buying it though because it has that Call of Duty name stamped on it. It's much the same for Gran Turismo in that people will buy it because of the name. At least Kazunori Yamauchi is passionate about the games he creates and it doesn't seem like he's just in it for the paycheck. It's not hard to see that Call of Duty games are severely lacking in real passion.

I keep saying this kind of thing but it falls on deaf ears. I will admit that CoD has made a good formula with it's game, but using it so many times in a row is just boring. If you release a game every year, the fans don't have enough time to miss it. I prefer more staggered releases because it's an amazing feeling to once again be playing a game that you actually waited for rather than one that gets shoved out every 12 months.
Eh, a few years ago I'd have agreed with you, but there's definitely a line being drawn. Perhaps "real" isn't the best term as it's a bit patronizing, and so is "hardcore" in a way, but there's a difference between the casual gamer who plays party games on the Wii and browser games on Facebook and those who have been into console gaming for a number of years. I'd say there is such a thing as a real gamer, it's just that we're lacking a better word for it.
