Forums - Gaming Discussion - GT5 passes Halo Reach in global lifetime sales!

Actually due to the holiday digital bundle that Reach received in 2011 it's probably about tied for sales with GT5. If I remember my calculations right it roughly sold 1.1 million in digital copies during the time that it was bundled and that doesn't include the other 2 or so years it's been on demand (which is increasingly becoming a bigger market on the 360). So best bet is to add a couple hundred thousand onto that. Overall I would estimate Reach at around 10.6 million (taking the very low end of sales)

Either way though one game didn't meet my sales expectation (Reach) whilst the other one (GT5) genuinely surprised me. Congrats to GT5 for being the first PS3 exclusive to cross 10 million.

Jaywood lol Halo is heavily bundled aswell you know xD cmon man


lol Halo 4 has yet to recieve a bundle besides the collector edition which is geared for people who was going to buy the game anyways.  I can't remember any halo game getting Bundles year in and out.  Ive said it in numerous threads that every 1st party game gets bundled but GT gets bundle multiple times a year along with InFamous 1 or 2 and one of the uncharted games

This thread will explode soon but let's be honest about things.  Halo sold 40m in 6 years on X360 alone.  PS3 sold 17m in 5 years.  

Halo has always been bundled in my country, so has gran turismo.

Dude you live in New Zealand......Halo is an American, UK, European game. That is where it is popular.  Look up ratailers like gamestop, amazon, and walmart in the U.S.  That will give you a better idea of what is going on with Halo.

Hmm just sort of wondering what this is then?

Didnt realize Halo 3 odst was a demo of halo 3 hmmm learn something every day :D

You are saying GT5 Prologue and GT5 are the same game.  When they are not.  They are seperate just like Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST is seperate.  Just because they share numbers and names does not mean they are the same game.  The same people who bought Halo 3 bought Halo 3 ODST.  and the same people who bought Prologue bought GT5.  

Cmon man lol you do know the prologue is the pre release for GT which is basically a demo right??? RIGHT??

The first demo that got sold... No, it was sold separately and should of course be counted as a separate game. Tell me why VGC counts both games separately. You are free to discuss this with ioi.

And you realize that Halo 3 ODST was originally suppose to be DLC right?. 


Oh so everything that was in halo 3 was in halo 3 odst?  just like everything that was in gt5 prologue was in gt5?



Guys...I gotta point out that both Reach and GT5 were bundled quite extensively. So it's a wash in that aspect really.

Seeing as you counted the limited GT5 bundle, allow me to also count a couple of Halo limited bundles.

Sure you are allowed to do that but the comparison is still in favor of halo :) But yes, there were also many time-limited halo-bundles.



Halo reach is around 11m you forget digita sales



Wasn't Halo Reach and Fable 3 bundled for like two years?
