GT5 should easily surpass Halo 3 sales, the whole world is crazy about the series whereas it's mostly N.America which buys Halo games

Europe likes Halo as well, but it doesn't have as broad of an appeal as Gran Turismo, don't forget Japan

Regardless, GOWIII definitely won't do it, though it's a possibility the two combined could. Let's not kid ourselves and forget the awesome selling power of Halo. This is a franchise, like Gran Turismo, that keeps the industry hoppin'! I believe to beat it, you REALLY need MAJOR selling power first week

Yeah, Europe likes Halo 3 as well. 

Week one will be a tough one to beat.

Gran Turismo 4

Region	Japan	America	Others	Total
Total Sales	1.16m	2.76m	5.73m	9.65m
Week 1	673,884	770,867	1,026,956	2,471,707

Gran Turismo 3 might have had a bigger opening, but the sales data here doesn't have it.

Halo 3

Region	Japan	America	Others	Total
Total Sales	0.11m	6.76m	2.55m	9.42m
Week 1	62,415	2,844,837	908,192	3,815,444

GT5 will sell more than GT4 because it'll be the first one for the particular console whereas GT4 was the second or third GT on the ps2
