The past success of the GT series would indicate great popularity for the franchise. The one concern I have for buying too much into early PS3 titles is the install base of the PS3 when the game comes out. By the time PS3 install base is large enough to support something like 5 million sales of one game, these games will be obsolete. Additionally, according to the article GT4 sold 6.25 million copies worldwide, but this was when the PS2 install base nearly 100 million. I believe at best Sony will have shipped 5 million PS3s by this time next year. What percentage of those people can we assume may pick up GT HD?
