So theres been a lot of arguement over whether Halo Reach or GT5 will sell more world wide, and a lot of people seem to think both games will be the best selling games of their systems.

 

In my OPINION that I'm hoping won't insult anyone, I believe neither game will be able to outsell MW2 on their own system. Halo Reach might be on track to have a higher week one then MW2 on the 360 depending on EMEAA preorders, but MW2 has put all HD games to shame when it comes to legs. GT5 will most likely have a lower opening week then MW2 on the PS3, and for comparision MW2 on the ps3 is selling more week 42 then GT4 sold week 20. While I know GT5 will have better super long term legs, I do not think it will be enough. Black Ops will slow down sales for mw2, but it might already be too late for both GT5 and Halo Reach.


And while preorders don't tell everything, black ops is on track to having a bigger opening then anything else, and if it has the casual word of mouth MW2 did, it will certainly have great legs as well. Potentially being the only hd game that is able to dethrone MW2. This is all coming from someone who bought MW2, enjoyed playing it with friends, hated playing it alone, stopped playing a while ago. I know I will enjoy halo reach more then any call of duty since heck i like halo 3 more then it. I've enjoyed the forza series more then any other racing games so I'm really excited to buy GT5. (Never owned a PS2, and was a little kid with no interest in simulation racing when I had my PS1.)
