Has anyone played the Forza 4 demo? You play on a single track and I don't think you can even change your car.

See the difference? Prologue was not a demo.


well should i say that it was a big demo then?

 

Lol nahhhh GT5p was pretty much a demo, bro

refer to this article for proof about GT5's extended and official bundle. (clearly designed to boost sales)

This is the main reason why GT5 did so well in europe.

Nobody is denying the Halo series has had some bundling.

However, not a single Halo game has seen as much bundling as GT5.

Thats because there are so many Halo's this gen compared to 1 GT

 

actually, how many times has GT5 been bundled know that you say that? I know here in America we just recently got a nenew GT5 bundle 

Bingo!

People boast about the massive numbers of GT5. But its also a game Sony has been bundling for years and is still currently doing so.


How many times have they bundled it?

Ask Sony - they know how many times they put GT5 in a box.

Both games were heavily bundled. All the Halos were heavily bundled until the successor came out and the same goes for Gears of War and both Fables. GT5 just so happens to be the first full GT of the gen. The same goes for InFamous and Uncharted as well. First party is generally heavily bundled. To deny this is insanity.

I would rather wait for GT6 to arrive and then we could compare GT5 to Halo 3 and GT6 to Halo 4

 

GT6 is going to have a tougher time though because it is being released at the time of PS4's launch

 

Halo 4 was released a week before blops2... definitely the harder competition.


I dont know. I think Halo 4 would've did worse if it launched on 360 right when the 720 was coming out.

 

and Halo 4 has been on the market longer so that is why it will be hard to compare it with GT6. We will have to wait


No, we can make week-alligned comparisons, no problem. And Halo4 had harder competition for sure and was easily outsold by blops2 on 360 and ps3.

......

 

EVERY game was outsold by Black Ops 2 at the time..


Yes but Halo 4 was also a direct competitor as it was also a fps. So you still doubt it had harder competition than GT6 will have?


Oh you are talking about it being an FPS..

 

I guess it did have tough competition in that case. Why would they even release it so close to COD? ah who knows

Ok come on, you know that is wrong. Halo-bundles died way before Halo 4 was released unless you can proove that they were bundled just before Halo 4. You try to say that there is a bundle-link for all Halos which is definitely not true and it is also not true for Gears of War. Why do you say so? Just to excuse the heavy bundeling of GT5? It's ok if it's bundled. But don't compare time-limited bundles to continually bundeling. This doesn't work.
