3 Gran Turismo games outsold the 4 Forza games. Thats quite a nice stat.

Mario Kart continues to blow everything away.


I knew you couldn't resist, all holier than thou in the other two... Lol.

But bam! straight in on this one. 

The was a time when one gt game would have outsold 4 forza games.... Ah we'll. times they are a changing I guess. 

Amazing what mass bundling can do. Forza is the most bundled franchise this gen behind wii series games 

Taking cues from GT3, the most bundled PS game in history. The irony is delecious.

Amazing that it managed to sell 3 times as much as any Forza lol, despite Forza having WW hard-holiday bundles and GT3 only in USA.

Its not amazing at all, since its GT. Dont downplay your God :P

This one is tongue-in-cheek enough to let stand, though i agree with the OP. Please, please stop this junk...


The fact the OP thinks these types of threads should stop is a perfect reason why it should be locked as well. Even more so if you went ahead and closed the other ones.

lol that actually shows the decline of GT. Forza only has one more game that just recently came out and the numbers are so close.

Kiss that lead goodbye if MS bundle Horizon or 4 again in 2013.

GT hasn't declined...Forza has grown though.

Well you could say it declined in releases. They didnt adopt the 2 GT games per gen. So in essense its a decline in that it could have sold soooo much more.

There was also a time when one Gears game would have outsold 4 Uncharted games, lol. How ridiculous is it to say that? 


Besides, GT 5 Prologue was not even a full game, yet it sold like this. GT PSP appeared on a platform infamous for its low software sales. So, GT is still way above Forza.

Your talking in excuses, and the numbers are results. Pretty close for 3 GT games to 4 Forzas. But if you wanna keep this 360 vs PS3 centric Forza actually won this gen.

GT5 Prolouge obviously can't fill the gap left by not releasing GT6 this gen. Also, PSP games really have never sold all that well, besides GT PSP being terribly reviewed. But you obviously would call it an excuse, since you can't hear anything good for a Sony franchise.

This one is more "fun" than the other 2. Mbp's is obvious for what it is. Daves was just a trolly rant. This one is mocking everyone.

I reported this and daves.

Youre right. Times have changed. Prologues outsell full games. Sony releases portable Gran Turismo games. Forza has grown massively.

Exactly. Why make another one if you want comparisons to stop? Lol, people will just continue on with the GT vs. Forza discussion here.

Which is precisely what ended up happening.

 

No clear message was sent.

lol this thread has crashed lmao.

and yh gt3 was bundled.

Bundling is a good tactic to ensure that people get to play the game so when the next one is released they may purchase it.

However forza has been bundled heavily and it still hasnt gained much traction outside of bundling. We are going to have to wait for next gen though to find out if all these bundles have paid off. With that been said Sony should have Forza bundled Killzone. Get it in more peoples hands to ensure a wider knowledge of it for next gen.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

No there wasn't. 

Uh, yes. Back in 2007.

And Gears of War still would if Uncharted wasn't the most bundled HD exclusive this generation, it'd bet the franchises sales would be 30% less if you don't include bundled sales. Gran Turismo would too if the Forza games weren't massively bundled, then again GT games are massively bundled too. I wish we could see sales of games without bundled numbers included so we could see how popular something truly is rather than how artificially boosted it's been due to bundling.

Well my counter excuse is that GT = God for PS gamers, thus negating and compensating for your "demo" and "Itz PSP" excuse.

Results speak for themselves, especially if you keep it 360/PS3 based.
