My bet with Brendude13. He won.

Sorry Gematsu, I'll never doubt you again.

The best thread that never was.

Interesting data. I think your trend analysis is spot on., but I don't think a NextBox release would chop off Halo 4 because Halo 2 remained very popular up to and beyond Halo 3's release.

I predict lifetime sales of 12.5 million for Halo 4 and 11.0 million for Gran Turismo 5.

Im actually wondering if Halo 4 would get a re-release on the next Xbox. Might be nice. 



I was 3 months clean from VG Chartz.. but then Xbox 720 and Ps4 happened.

I vote GT5 to win since I don't see Halo 4 selling too much over 10m.

I'm pretty confident that Halo 4 will sell worse than Reach. Halo Reach's legs were considerably worse than Halo 3's legs. Halo Reach was selling about identical to Halo 3 for about 60 weeks. After that, Reach's sales came to a crawl in comparison to Halo 3. With Reach having relatively weak legs, there's nothing to suggest that Halo 4 will have legs comparable, let alone higher, than Halo 3's legs. Especially with the Nextbox rumored to release next year. That gives Halo 4 only one year to sell to the primary Xbox console. After that first year, I expect Halo 4's legs to drop in comparison to Reach, and especially Halo 3. I'm not saying it's going to have shit legs. But in comparison to Reach, which had three years to sell on the primary Xbox, I'm expecting Halo 4's legs to be a bit lower.

And GT5 is undertracked.

I lost a bet to superchunk. He correctly predicted that PS4 will release within 2013. I should have known that superchunk was an excellent predictor, I was foolish to bet against him.

That bits funny.

Anyway - Considering GT5 is undertracked here by a considerable number, and Halo seems to be undertracked too... Id advise waiting until we get adjustments on SW after the Holidays.

Im leaning towards GT5. Already sitting at ~9 Million. Will continue to have great legs into a new generation. Hasnt been replaced with a new mainline game 2 Years after release.

Idk I see GT5 snuggling right up there behind Halo 3 at around 11 mill ltd

 

Edit: Halo 4 is NOT going to "catch" GT5 in 2013
