What difference does it make exactly

It really doesn't, just a discussion and making some points. Although, it can be annoying when people play dumb or make presumptions about what I am saying.


It's the dog picture 

Change it to a pitbull and they will fear you lol

You're making that request because you know I can't find that exact information. Neither could VGChartz. All we know for certain is GT has bundled in Europe and NA many times over and even recently.

Here's something note worthy. GT5 saw a massive boost on the holidays of 2012, it was even bigger than the 2011 holiday. That is the same time a GT5 bundle launched. That gives you an idea how much bundles helped this game and kept YoY numbers so high.

No, i asked because you said it like you knew the exact amount of bundles. 2012 yoy increase? Isnt that the same year the XL edition was released and the price was lowered? The yoy increase is irrelevant to how many more times it was bundled over Halo 3.

 

And if you cant find that exact information then how do we know that you actually know what you're talking about, Puggsly?

 

Alright, lets play dumb. Because when games get bundled with DLC it often leads to massive sales increases like that.

Bundle after bundle had nothing to do with it.

I'm done talking to you, good day.


well someone seems to be a bit on edge =D

 

Done talking to me? Aww im sorry. I didn't mean to expose the hole in your claim like that but that's the way it is sometimes. ;)

 

"play dumb"?? The irony...

 

The same guy who claims one thing then later admits that he cant find the exact information to support the claim is talking about "playing dumb"

 

..XD

Probably. Lets be honest, GT5 has had a lot of physical bundles and its been $20 with DLC for years. Sony has pushed this game for a long time.


Yep. SONY's doing it riight.

Yeah, but its pointless to compare directly with Halo 3. No Halo game has been bundeled as much or pushed as hard simply because there was a new Halo game every few years.

MS is also doing the right thing with Halo, more releases made it significantly more proftiable than Gran Turismo.

What next? Boast about GT5 selling better than a PS3 port of CoD? Who cares, there is a new one every year.


Forgetting about the 5.35M copies of GT5:Prologue?


And GT PSP which was really just GT5 minus some modes and cranking down the visuals.

Oh yeah, I'm clearly on edge by trying to end a pointless discussion.

Claim? Its clear a large portion of GT5 sales are from bundles. You're denying that, you're playing dumb.

Did I say I have figures? Absolutely not. I don't have the figures of Forza bundles but we both know that series has had millions of bundles sold. With that said, I have little doubt millions of GT5 copies were also bundled.

You should try proving to me GT5 isn't a massively bundled game. Ofcourse you can't do it because it clearly is. :-p

It will be interesting to see. Most probably they'll end so close it won't be possible to tell for sure until the end of their commercial lives.

A "pointless discussion"? How exactly is it pointless? This thread is about Gran Turismo 5 and Halo 3. You came in talking about bundles and implied that GT5 had more bundles than Halo 3. I asked for you to provide the evidence/bundles and you admitted that you didnt have the information.

 

So how is the discussion pointless? Oh i think i know. You are saying that its pointless because you got exposed..

 

I never denied anything about GT5. That is just another claim that you pulled clean from out of your ass to save face ;)

I'm not claiming, I'm saying GT5 more than Halo 3.

I gave you proof, if its not enough for you... too bad.

And now you're struggling to make comments..

 

You're not even making sense at this point 

 

We all know what that means when an individual isn't making sense and has to struggle to make comments

 

You thought you were done a few comments ago, no, NOW you're done

What I said made perfect sense, I'm starting to question your reading comprehension.

I'm done, but you can keep going. I'm starting to enjoy this.
