Compared to the series "standard" it didn't sell well.

People on GAF tried to make the same comments but they lose the point because they couldn't show any proof about that.

Do you want to try?

How much GT6 sold?

PS. The only place we have solid numbers GT6 is tracking faster than GT5 for example (Japan).

What should I want to try? The only number available to me is VGC. If you think these numbers are wrong you are free to provide more and better ones.

Wow fella, I misread your post and already edited my post before you quoted me. Okr also asked what you meant when you said he was wrong.

Well, fair enough but you clearly realised your mistake and changed it meaning you also realised you were in the wrong. I think if you read the flow of the conversation you would perfectly understand why I started my sentence with 'Wow'. The fact that even after you've aknowledged your mistake you feel as if you have to reply in kind shows a lack of humility. If that was me I'd simply have said 'yeah, sorry fella, I misread' and the reason I'd do that is because it was my fault so therefor it's also up to me to 'understand' why the poster used the word 'wow' in that context. The onus would be on me to put things right. It wouldn't cross my mind to put things right by adding insult to injury in the process.



 

The PS5 Exists.

@GG: what is not true?

It's not  'always' Sony fans that do this. I'd say this sort of incendury thread is evenly spread between the different camps ... but that's not the point anyway. There is absolutely no value in these threads existing. There is NO other interpretation of intent other than one of negativity. That's why, even as a Sony fan, I find them distasteful.

Back in the early VGC days I would have agreed with you. We had plenty of comparison threads especially early last gen from all camps.

Today, I can't agree. Xbox fans mainly meet in their Xbox Republic thread (or what it's called) and when avid Nintendo fans like Tbone are happy with the sales of Nintendo franchises, they just post and discuss the numbers without comparing them to sales of a "rival" franchise.



First they would need to support the console it's on by buying it.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Why is it always Sony fans with theseHalo comparison threads? Are some of you still so insecure even though the current (console) gen was already "won"? Seems the Wii/DS gen still hurts...

Just for this thread I did a quick counter-research:

Halo 3 alone outsold the whole Killzone franchise by 1.5 million copies.

Gears crushes Uncharted

Gears crushes God of War

Halo crushes Killzone

Halo crushes Gran Turismo

Halo crushes everything from Sony (hur dur GT is just bundled)

Sony exclusives don't sell compared to MS exclusives

The Forza series beat the GT series in 2012 (that's Forza 3, 4 and Horizon vs GT5, yes someone made that comparison)

All of the above are comparisons I've seen being made on this very site, so lets please not act as if it's only Sony fans, the only reason the other camps aren't doing it much at the moment is because they don't have many instances where they could win an argument like that.

Yeah, it's a shame, Forza is such a good racing game, easily on par with Gran Turismo. But I guess people are just used to the name. Gran Turismo is for many people the definition of a racing game as Playstation is the definition for a video game console. They just don't know better.

That's it! Go! Tell them how wrong they are and how they should learn what's better from your impartial opinion.

I am amazed at how you are able to know every single person that buys a Gran Turismo game and a PlayStation console and how you can tell that those sells didn't come from people enjoying the games and consoles they prefer.

You must be Professor X.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

If whoever started this thread did it just to spread negativity, I'd say he did a pretty good job. Insert obligatory x crushes y comment here.

Forza still has a better community. Plus its spinoff crushed GT's spinoff in sales. Tourist Trophy didn't even sell enough to warrant a sequel.



I don't understand what the point of this thread is.

Is it that you want to try and brag about some series selling better than the other? Do you prefer Gran Turismo over Forza and wanted to make a thread about it to rub it in?  I don't understand what the discussion is here. 

I could make a thread that said "Water crushes soda" because more people buy water than soda. (I don't know if that's an actual fact. I'm just making an example). It would be the exact same thing as this thread.
