How many has each franchise sold. Minus the ps1 versions if you want. Its simple.

 

PS2 userbase / GT3 sales= % ; PS3 userbase X (times) % = GT5 sales :)

Simple enough.

It's the other way around...GT3 sales/PS2 userbase = % attach rate.

In any case, I don't get this userbase argument. Has it ever proven correct for anything? It sounds good in theory, but according to that logic, MGS4 shouldn't have even cracked 1 million, as the highest-selling MGS on PS2 was bought by only 4% of the userbase. And look at SSBM...that only sold 1.5 million less than Brawl (so far), despite having half the userbase.

That is a very good point, but i imagine that it really varies, but what that proves is that the amount a game sells in any given time period on any given system, would greatly show how popular a game is, but then you also have to consider how heavily bundled that said game is/was.

 

For the most part everybody here has offered very good arguements as to whether halo 3 is more popular than GT or not.  But of course this arguement cannot be fully resolved until GT5 comes out.  Although i would have to say the odds are kind of stacked against GT5 but we shall see.
