From what I have seen on VG (!!) and Wiki (!!) previous GT entrys sell between 15 and 20% of their total sales in Japan.
GT5 Prologue has sole how many in Japan? Reportedly approx 250,000.
If old patterns hold true that would put total sales at between 1.25 million and 2.5 million at the outside for life time sales.
How do we match this historical pattern to current 4 million lifetime sales (you all do know that this game will only sell for approx 1 year before the full game arrives right?) and the supposed 1 million pre orders?
I think digital downloading is making this extremely difficult to measure and hope that we get some numbers from PD or SONY on the DL side of things. Disc sales are unlikely to be 4 million in my opinion (that is a 25-40% attachment rate given that it is on sale for likely just a year)
