........I really cannot help myself when my favourite franchise is mentioned in a thread. :(
Firstly, most big games are bundled with a system in order to sell systems. Halo 3 was bundled as well as the GT games because they are expected to sell systems. Next people need to stop saying "har har GT numbers artificially enlarged because they are bundled" because that's stupid. There is a very big difference between a pack in such as Forza 2 compared to a bundle like Halo 3 or GT4.
Anyway it's amazing how defensive people get when it comes to Gran Turismo. 360 fanboys frightened it will sell more than Halo 3 and there e-penis will shrink while PS3 fanboys just want GT5 to release so they can say the PS3 has a big selling exclusive which is just sad. Nintendo fanboys will just laugh while NSMB Wii beats both games without breaking a sweat.
That said 18th is my birthday and no better present for me than GT5 information and a release date from Mr. Polyphony Digital. :P
