I am guessing it will be Halo Reach, though I might be wrong.
I couldn't care less.

Well lots of fanboys will mindlessly buy Halo, so i think Halo even though GT5 will be a far better game.

 

If they are that big a fanboy, why have they not bought Halo 3?

You just won.  GG.

Neither, or rather, it won't be possible to tell. The people who want Halo: Reach got a 360 for Halo 3, and the people who want GT5 got a PS3 for the Prologue. One could still argue -especially in GT5's case- that these games were still responsible for a number of console sales before the game's release, but that can't be tracked with any accuracy.

Yeah, I know tons of people who bought a $500 gaming system for a Demo.

Oh, they bought it for GT5. But when you can start playing it (or a demo thereof) immediately, why wait for the full version? The entire story of this gen is one of people not waiting for their favorite games before buying the console, but buying it sooner -almost like an investment- and tiding themselves over with similar games until then. It's how Halo 3, GTA4, LBP, and the other big HD blockbusters have all failed to verifiably move significant numbers of consoles, and neither GT5 nor Halo: Reach will be any different. They sold their systems long before the games themsevles were released, and those sales can't be tracked.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
