I have seen a couple of rumours suggesting that the game may release before the Xmas holiday period. This obviously will be very important and will help the sales enormously.
I am currently shorting this stock so my position is based on that but I am struggling to see this sell the 9+ million we currently predict even if the game launches in 2009.
GT5P has only sold 3+ million estimated, I understand this was only effectively the wolds most expensive demo (Although not any more now it can be had for only £18 in the UK) but I do not belive the PS3 can support sales above 5 million of anything currently. GT5 has real competition in Forza 3 brand loyalty aside this will make some difference especially if they do not make the game for the end of 2009.
I would be interested in peoples reasoning for predicting 9+ million other than it sold a lot on the PS2.
