I thought this was quite interesting, given that both of these games are arguably their respective consoles biggest exclusive game...

Anyway, Halo 4 has sold 7,030,950 in its first 7 weeks on sale. It took GT:5 58 weeks to sell as much as this. Pretty amazing!

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I wonder how many price cuts GT5 had to even make it there.

Pretty good opening for Halo.

I'm sure full or almost full price sales are worthier to MS than bargain bin sales.
