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.

Looking at these numbers......I dont think it will happen. It managed 2.4 million on the PS2 which had to have a much bigger install base than the PS3 will have when GT5 drops. So based on this, it will depend on how many people who dont have a PS3 are gonna buy one when its released. If there is the rumored 100 dollar price cut before its released it may have a slim chance. But I'm still gonna say no. I hope Im wrong though.
I am a gamer. Not a fanboy, not a troll, a gamer. So when you dont like what I have to say, remember this fact.
