| bouzane said: @Toefactor You must be skipping over my posts. MGS3 4.02 million sales / 140 million user base. MG4 3.90 million sales / 21 million user base. Remember that MGS4 has only been out for 39 months. Looks like the sales were unaffected by the user base. Remember that GT3 was more than twice as popular than as MGS2 and GT4 was more than twice as popular than MGS3. You must really suck at following debates but the conclusion must be clear even to you. MGS4 was unaffected by the PS3's smaller user base. GT will likely be unaffected by the PS3's user base as well. GT is more than twice as popular than MGS. MGS4 has sold 3.9 million in only 9 months. If GT is more than twice as popular as MGS yet again then 7.8 million in 9 months is possible. If that's the case then 8.2 million in 12 months is possible as well. Please, actually read what I wrote this time, will you? |
Everything you say is totally irrelevant to this thread. The OP stated specifically that he wanted to know what our thoughts were if the games released at the same time and both 360 and PS3 had an install base of 50 million. Therefore, the ONLY logical way of coming up with an answer is to compare attach rates for the Halo franchise vs the Gran Turismo franchise.
Why you're even mentioning MGS or GTA games in your posts is bewildering to say the least. What it comes down to is this.
Xbox360 at 50 million consoles sold + Halo 4 with a 25% attach rate = 12.5 million copies sold
PS3 at 50 million consoles sold + GT5 with even a 10-15% attach rate = 5-8 million copies sold
The only way GT5 would outsell Halo 4 based on the OP's scenario would be for the attach rate of GT to be higher than that of Halo which it is not.
Now as for your bet, it's also irrelevant, but also unfair since Halo 3 launched with a 360 install base of 18 million where as GT5 will launch to a PS3 install base of somewhere in the neighbourhood of 25+ million. I think you should be giving Hyruken odds :)
