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

I believe so.  It was bundled with consoles and bundled together in one retail package.

Your thinking of the Holiday bundle where Reach sold over 1 million in digital copies and Fable 3 sold over 1 million in actual copies.

Like I said earlier. Both games have had extensive bundles.

 

@ Wal and Dey: Please don't quote such absurdly long posts like those.

Halo is still the MUCH bigger franchise. You will notice when you see how GT6 on PS3 will be doing. Feel free to compare it to Halo 4 then. Of course Sony will bundle it like hell. Again.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Why? I think it is way better than those endless quote trees and was the best way to show what we meant. But thanks for the mod-attempt ;)

Could be. But GT5 was bundled with fat, slim and superslim. Show me one Halo which was bundled with fat 360, redesign 360s and the new matte version.

Oh yes, a week-by-week analysis could be funny.

Both franchises should not be compared even though they are the major titles for both brands. GT is the best racer money can buy and Halo is the best exclusive shooter money can buy plain and simple.

Because it's annoying to see 3 7 page long quote (by page I mean computer screen). All you really had to do though was highlight the pictures and press the delete button

Why not? Both are definitely the biggest exclusive brands for their respective consoles. Therefore they have to be compared.

This looks like a much better comparison. Every GT has out sold every Halo game except Halo 3 as of right now. Of course Reach and 4 are still selling so this is subject to change but either way looks to me that GT has Halo beat right now.
