@ gergroy:
what logic do you speak of exactly? You said Halo 3 is where it is on a 30mill user base right? But when Halo 3 released, the 360 was NO WHERE NEAR that. Now you're trying to tell me that GT5, since we're using your user base argument (and by the time GT5 releases, the PS3 should be at at least 30mill WW), can't do 8-9mill on a 30mill user base but Halo 3 can? Yea, that kind of logic doesn't work, you're right.

so when did halo 3 get pulled off of the shelves?  I'm pretty sure it's still available to buy, if I'm not mistaken.  So, when we are talking life to date numbers, yes, I will use the current console numbers because believe it or not, people have bought 360's since halo 3 came out and yes, they bought halo 3.

so yes, I am telling you that halo 3 can do that and gran turismo can't.  Unlike gran turismo, the halo brand has proved that it can sell on a low user base (original xbox and halo 1 and 2).  Look at those numbers and just guess at how many copies of halo 1 or 2 would be sold if the original xbox had 140 million consoles sold.  Doesn't that make sense?  If you ad an extra 120 million people to the equation, don't you think at least 10% would want to get the most popular game for the system?  I actually think it would be more that 10%, but you get my point.  That would add another 12 million copies to those games sold.  The same sort of phenomenon is what bolstered the gran turismo's sells

However, lets agree to disagree.  I'm not going to convince you and you aren't going to convince me.  When the numbers come in though, I will have to give you an "I told you so" message :)
